Romans 5
1 Therefore being accepted as righteous through faith, we have peace with 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 had admission into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in the hope of the glory which God will confer.
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 rejoice in afflictions also, knowing that affliction produceth endurance,
And not only so, but we are actually exulting also even in our troubles; for we know that trouble works fortitude,
4 and endurance proof [[of faith]], and proof [[of faith giveth]] hope;
and fortitude character, and character, hope -
5 and hope will not disappoint us; because the love of God hath been shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit which hath 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 while we were yet without strength, in due season Christ died for the ungodly.
For while we were still without strength, Christ died in due time for the ungodly.
7 Now hardly for a righteous man will one die; perhaps, however, for a benefactor one might even dare 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 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet 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, being now accepted as righteous through his blood, we shall be saved through him from the [[coming]] 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 while enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more having been reconciled shall we be saved by 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 this only, but also having joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have 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 So then as through one man sin entered into the world, and through sin death, and thus [[death]] came through unto all men, because 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 all the time before the Law sin was in the world; but sin is not set to one's account when there is no 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 Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned in the manner in which Adam transgressed; who is a type of him who was to come.—
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 the free gift was not as the transgression. For if through the offence of the one the many died, much more hath the grace of God, and the gift which is by the grace of the one man Jesus Christ, abounded 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 the free gift is not like what happened through one man who sinned. For sentence of condemnation followed one offence; but the free gift is a justification after many offences.
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 one trespass death reigned through the one man, much more will they who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man 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 As then through one trespass all men have come under condemnation, so through one act of righteousness all obtain the gift of righteousness unto 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 made sinners, so through the obedience of the one man will the many be made 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 Moreover the law came in in addition, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace abounded much more;
Now law was brought in so that transgression might abound; but where sin abounded, grace super-abounded;
21 that as sin reigned in death, so grace might reign through righteousness to everlasting 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)
