< Romans 5 >

1 Having been declared righteous, then, by faith, we have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
Since we stand justified as the result of faith, let us continue to enjoy the peace we have 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 him also we have had our access into this grace in which we have taken our stand, and are exulting 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 are actually exulting also even in our troubles; for we know that trouble works fortitude,
4 and the endurance, experience; and the experience, hope;
and fortitude character, and 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.
a hope which never disappoints us. For through the Holy Spirit who has given to us, the "brimming river of the love of God" has overflowed in our hearts.
6 For in our being still ailing, Christ in due time died for the impious;
For while we were still without strength, Christ died in due time for the ungodly.
7 for scarcely for a righteous man will anyone die, for the good man perhaps someone also dares to die;
Why, a man will hardly give his life for another, even for a righteous man, though perchance for a good man one might even take it upon himself to die.
8 and God commends His own love to us, that, in our being still sinners, Christ died for us;
But God gives proof of his love to us by the fact that while we were still 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;
By how much more, then, being now justified in his blood, shall we be saved through him from the wrath of God.
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 God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved in 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 that, but we exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now obtained our 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;
Thus, then, sin came into the world through one man, and through sin came death and so death spread to all men, because all had sinned.
13 for until law sin was in the world: and sin is not reckoned when there is not law;
For prior to the Law, sin actually existed in the world, but sin was not set down to man’s account when there was 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.
Nevertheless, from Adam to Moses death reigned as king, even over those who had not sinned after the likeness of Adam’s transgression. Now Adam is a type 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 gift is not like the transgression; for if through the transgression of that one man the rest on men died, much more did the grace of God and the gift given in his grace in the one Man, Jesus Christ, overflow unto the rest of 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 it is not with the free gift as it was through the one that sinned; for the judgment came from one transgression unto condemnation; but the free gift came from many transgressions unto acquittal.
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 through the transgression of the one, death reigned as king through the one, much more shall those who receive the overflowing grace and gift of righteousness reign as kings in life through One, through 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;
It follows then, as through the transgression of one man came condemnation unto all men, even so through the act of righteousness of One came acquittal and life to 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.
For just as through the disobedience of one man the rest were made sinners; even so by the obedience of One shall all the rest be made righteous.
20 And law came in, that the offense might abound, and where sin abounded, grace hyper-abounded,
Now law was brought in so that transgression might abound; but where sin abounded, grace super-abounded;
21 that even as sin reigned in death, so also grace may reign, through righteousness, to continuous life, through Jesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios g166)
in order that as sin has ruled as king in death, so also grace might rule as king in righteousness which issues in eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord, - ours! (aiōnios g166)
