< Romans 5 >
1 Having been declared righteous, then, by faith, we have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
2 through whom also we have the access by faith into this grace in which we have stood, and we boast on the hope of the glory of God.
through whom we have had access, by faith, into this grace in which we stand; and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
3 And not only [so], but we also boast in the tribulations, knowing that the tribulation works endurance;
And not only so, but we rejoice in afflictions also; because we know that affliction produces patience,
4 and the endurance, experience; and the experience, hope;
and patience, an approved character, and an approved character, hope;
5 and the hope does not make ashamed, because the love of God has been poured forth in our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.
and this hope disappoints us not; because the love of God is poured abundantly into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that is given to us.
6 For in our being still ailing, Christ in due time died for the impious;
For when we were yet without strength, at the appointed time, Christ died for the ungodly.
7 for scarcely for a righteous man will anyone die, for the good man perhaps someone also dares to die;
For hardly, indeed, will one die for a just man; yet, perhaps, for the good man some one would even dare to die.
8 and God commends His own love to us, that, in our being still sinners, Christ died for us;
But God makes known his love to us in this, that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us:
9 much more, then, having been declared righteous now in His blood, we will be saved through Him from the wrath;
much more, then, since we are now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from the wrath through him.
10 for if, being enemies, we have been reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we will be saved in His life.
For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.
11 And not only [so], but we are also boasting in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we now received the reconciliation;
And not only so, but we rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the reconciliation.
12 because of this, even as through one man sin entered into the world, and through sin—death; and thus to all men death passed through, for that all sinned;
For this reason, as by one man sin entered into the world, and by his sin, death; and so death passed through to all men, because all have sinned:
13 for until law sin was in the world: and sin is not reckoned when there is not law;
for till the law, sin was in the world; but sin is not charged where there is no law.
14 but death reigned from Adam until Moses, even on those having not sinned in the likeness of Adam’s transgression, who is a type of Him who is coming.
Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that did not sin in the likeness of Adam’s transgression, who is the type of him that was to come.
15 But not as the offense so also [is] the free gift; for if by the offense of the one the many died, much more the grace of God, and the free gift in grace of the one man Jesus Christ, abound to the many;
But the favor bestowed is not, in all respects, like the offense: for if, by the offense of one, the many have died, much more have the grace of God and the gift which is by the grace of the one man Jesus Christ, been made abundant for the many.
16 and not as through one who sinned [is] the free gift, for the judgment indeed [is] of one to condemnation, but the gift [is] of many offenses to a declaration of “Righteous,”
And the gift is not like the sentence that came through one who sinned: for the sentence to condemnation was because of one offense; but the favor bestowed in order to justification, is because of many offenses.
17 for if by the offense of the one death reigned through the one, much more those who are receiving the abundance of grace and of the free gift of righteousness, in life will reign through the one—Jesus Christ.
For if, by one man’s offense, death has reigned through that one, much more shall those who receive the abundance of the grace, and of the gift of righteousness, reign in life through the one, who is Jesus Christ.
18 So, then, as through one offense to all men [it is] to condemnation, so also through one declaration of “Righteous” [it is] to all men to justification of life;
Therefore, as, by one offense, sentence came on all men to condemnation, so, also, by one act of righteousness, the gift has come on all men to justification of life.
19 for as through the disobedience of the one man, the many were constituted sinners: so also through the obedience of the One, will the many be constituted righteous.
For as by the disobedience of the one man the many have been made sinners, so, also, by the obedience of the one, the many shall be made righteous.
20 And law came in, that the offense might abound, and where sin abounded, grace hyper-abounded,
But, besides the first offense, law was introduced, in order that offenses might abound: but where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
21 that even as sin reigned in death, so also grace may reign, through righteousness, to continuous life, through Jesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios )
that as sin has reigned, ending in death, so might grace reign by justification, ending in life eternal, through Jesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios )
