Romans 5
1 Having been declared righteous, then, by faith, we have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
For which reason, because we have righteousness through faith, let us be at 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, in the same way, we have been able by faith to come to this grace in which we now are; and let us have joy 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 let us have joy in our troubles: in the knowledge that trouble gives us the power of waiting;
4 and the endurance, experience; and the experience, hope;
And waiting gives experience; and experience, 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 hope does not put to shame; because our hearts are full of the love of God through the Holy Spirit which is given to us.
6 For in our being still ailing, Christ in due time died for the impious;
For when we were still without strength, at the right time Christ gave his life for evil-doers.
7 for scarcely for a righteous man will anyone die, for the good man perhaps someone also dares to die;
Now it is hard for anyone to give his life even for an upright man, though it might be that for a good man someone would give his life.
8 and God commends His own love to us, that, in our being still sinners, Christ died for us;
But God has made clear his love to us, in that, when we were still sinners, Christ gave his life 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, if we now have righteousness by his blood, will salvation from the wrath of God come to us 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, when we were haters of God, the death of his Son made us at peace with him, much more, now that we are his friends, will we have salvation through 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 have joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we are now at peace with God.
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 through one man sin came into the world, and death because of sin, and so death came to all men, because all have done evil:
13 for until law sin was in the world: and sin is not reckoned when there is not law;
Because, till the law came, sin was in existence, but sin is not put to the account of anyone when there is no law to be broken.
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.
But still death had power from Adam till Moses, even over those who had not done wrong like Adam, who is a picture of him who 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 free giving of God is not like the wrongdoing of man. For if, by the wrongdoing of one man death came to numbers of men, much more did the grace of God, and the free giving by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, come to men.
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 free giving has not the same effect as the sin of one: for the effect of one man's sin was punishment by the decision of God, but the free giving had power to give righteousness to wrongdoers in great number.
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 the wrongdoing of one, death was ruling through the one, much more will those to whom has come the wealth of grace and the giving of righteousness, be ruling in life through the one, even 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;
So then, as the effect of one act of wrongdoing was that punishment came on all men, even so the effect of one act of righteousness was righteousness of life for all men.
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.
Because, as numbers of men became sinners through the wrongdoing of one man, even so will great numbers get righteousness through the keeping of the word of God by one man.
20 And law came in, that the offense might abound, and where sin abounded, grace hyper-abounded,
And the law came in addition, to make wrongdoing worse; but where there was much sin, there was much more grace:
