< Romans 5 >
1 Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;
Wherefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ--
2 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.
through whom we have had introduction, also, by faith, into this favor in which we stand, and rejoice in the hope of the glory of God:
3 Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering works perseverance;
and not only so, but we rejoice even in afflictions; knowing that affliction produces patience;
4 and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope:
and patience, approbation; and approbation, hope.
5 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.
And this hope makes not ashamed: because the love of God is diffused in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, that is given us.
6 For while we were yet weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.
Besides, we being yet weak, in the appointed time Christ died for the ungodly.
7 For rarely does one die for the righteous. Yet perhaps for a good person someone might dare to die.
Now, scarcely for a just man will one die, though for a good man one would, perhaps, even dare to die.
8 But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
But God recommends his love to us; because, while we were yet sinner, Christ died for us.
9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we will be saved from God's wrath through him.
Much more, then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
10 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.
For if, being enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son; much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
11 Not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.
And not only so, but we even rejoice in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, though whom we have now received reconciliation.
12 Therefore, as sin entered into the world through one man, and death through sin; and so death passed to all people, because all sinned.
Wherefore, as sin entered into the world by one man, in whom all sinned, and by sin, death: thus death came upon all men.
13 For until the law, sin was in the world; but sin is not charged when there is no law.
(For sin was in the world until the law: but sin is not imputed, when there is no law.
14 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.
Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them who had not sinned, in the manner of Adam's transgression, who is a type of him that was to come.
15 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.
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 favor of God, and the gift by favor, which is of the one man, Jesus Christ, has abounded to the many.
16 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.
And not as through one who sinner, is the free gift: for the sentence was from one to condemnation; but the free gift is from many offenses to justification.
17 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.
For if by the offense of the one, death reigned by the one; much more shall they who receive the abundance of favor, and of the gift of justification, reign in life, by the one--Jesus Christ.)
18 So then as through one trespass, all people were condemned; even so through one act of righteousness, all people were justified to life.
Now, therefore, as through one offense, the sentence came upon all men to condemnation: so, also, by one act of obedience, the sentence came upon all men to justification of life.
19 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.
For, as through the disobedience of the one, the many were constituted sinners; so, by the obedience of the one, the many shall be constituted righteous.
20 The law came in besides, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace abounded more exceedingly;
Moreover, the law supervened, that the offense might abound; but where sin abounded, favor superabounded--
21 that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to everlasting life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios )
that as sin reigned by death, so, also, favor might reign by justification to eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios )
