Romans 5
1 Having been declared righteous, then, by faith, we have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
Being therefore 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 also have our 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;
Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering works perseverance;
4 and the endurance, experience; and the experience, hope;
and perseverance, proven character; and proven 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 hope does not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
6 For in our being still ailing, Christ in due time died for the impious;
For while we were yet weak, at the right 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 rarely does one die for the righteous. Yet perhaps for a good person someone might dare to die.
8 and God commends His own love to us, that, in our being still sinners, Christ died for us;
But God commends his own love toward us, in 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, being now justified by his blood, we will be saved from God's 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 through the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we will 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;
Not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through 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;
Therefore, as sin entered into the world through one man, and death through sin; and so death passed to all people, because all sinned.
13 for until law sin was in the world: and sin is not reckoned when there is not law;
For until the law, sin was in the world; but sin is not charged when 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.
Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those whose sins weren't like Adam's disobedience, who is a foreshadowing 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 trespass. For if by the trespass of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God, and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to 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,”
The gift is not as through one who sinned: for the judgment came by one to condemnation, but the free gift came of many trespasses to justification.
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 trespass of the one, death reigned through the one; so much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, 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 through one trespass, all people were condemned; even so through one act of righteousness, all people were justified to 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 through the one man's disobedience many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the one, many will be made righteous.
20 And law came in, that the offense might abound, and where sin abounded, grace hyper-abounded,
The law came in besides, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace abounded more exceedingly;
