Romans 5
1 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.
Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;
2 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.
through whom we also have our access by faith into this grace in which we stand. We rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
3 And not only so, but we are actually exulting also even in our troubles; for we know that trouble works fortitude,
Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces perseverance;
4 and fortitude character, and character, hope -
and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope;
5 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.
and hope does not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
6 For while we were still without strength, Christ died in due time for the ungodly.
For while we were yet weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.
7 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.
For one will hardly die for a righteous man. Yet perhaps for a good person someone would even dare to die.
8 But God gives proof of his love to us by the fact that while we were 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 By how much more, then, being now justified in his blood, shall we be saved through him from the wrath of God.
Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we will be saved from God’s wrath through him.
10 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.
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 that, but we exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now obtained our reconciliation.
Not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.
12 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.
Therefore, as sin entered into the world through one man, and death through sin, so death passed to all men because all sinned.
13 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.
For until the law, sin was in the world; but sin is not charged when there is no law.
14 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.
Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those whose sins were not like Adam’s disobedience, who is a foreshadowing of him who was to come.
15 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.
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 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.
The gift is not as through one who sinned; for the judgment came by one to condemnation, but the free gift followed many trespasses to justification.
17 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.
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 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.
So then as through one trespass, all men were condemned; even so through one act of righteousness, all men were justified to life.
19 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.
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 Now law was brought in so that transgression might abound; but where sin abounded, grace super-abounded;
The law came in that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace abounded more exceedingly,
21 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)
that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to consummate (aiōnios g166) life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
