< Romans 5 >
1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
Therefore having been justified by faith, let us have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
through whom we also have access by faith unto this grace in which we stand, and let us rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.
3 And not only [so], but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
And not only so, but let us also rejoice in tribulation; knowing that tribulation works out endurance;
4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
and endurance, approval; and approval, hope:
5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
and hope makes not ashamed; because the divine love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Ghost who has been given unto us.
6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
For we being yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly:
7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
for scarcely will one die for a righteous man; for perhaps some one even dares to die for a good man.
8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
And God commends his love to us, because, we being yet sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
How much more then, having now been justified by his blood, shall we be saved from wrath through him.
10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
For if being enemies we are reconciled to God through the death of his Son; how much more, being reconciled, shall we be saved through his life:
11 And not only [so], but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
but not only so, but even rejoicing in God through Jesus Christ our Lord, through whom we now received reconciliation.
12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
Therefore, as by one man sin came into the world, and death by sin; and thus death came upon all men, in that all sinned;
13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
(for until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed, there being no law;
14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
but death reigned from Adam unto Moses, even on those who did not sin after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the type of him who is to come.
15 But not as the offence, so also [is] the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, [which is] by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
But not as was the transgression, even so is the free gift: for if by the transgression of one many died, how much more by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, did the grace of God and the gift abound unto many!
16 And not as [it was] by one that sinned, [so is] the gift: for the judgment [was] by one to condemnation, but the free gift [is] of many offences unto justification.
And not as by the one having sinned, is the free gift; for indeed, judgment was from one unto condemnation, but the free gift is from many transgressions unto justification.
17 For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
For if by the transgression of one death reigned through one; how much more shall those receiving the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Christ Jesus!)
18 Therefore as by the offence of one [judgment came] upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one [the free gift came] upon all men unto justification of life.
Therefore then, as by the transgression of one, judgment came to all men to condemnation; so also through the righteousness of one, the free gift came on all men unto the justification of life:
19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
for as by the disobedience of one man many were made sinners, so also by the obedience of one man shall many be made righteous.
20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
But the law came, that the transgression might abound; but where sin did abound, there did grace superabound:
21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios )
in order that as sin reigned through death, so may grace reign also through righteousness unto eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios )
