Romans 5
1 Therefore being accepted as righteous through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;
Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace 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 whom we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we boast in the hope of the glory of God.
3 And not only so, but we rejoice in afflictions also, knowing that affliction produceth endurance,
Not only that, but we also boast in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces endurance,
4 and endurance proof [[of faith]], and proof [[of faith giveth]] hope;
endurance produces proven character, proven character produces 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.
and hope does not put to shame, because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
6 For while we were yet without strength, in due season Christ died for the ungodly.
For when we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.
7 Now hardly for a righteous man will one die; perhaps, however, for a benefactor one might even dare to die.
Rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though perhaps for a good person someone might even dare to die.
8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
But God demonstrated his own love for us in 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.
How much more then, since we have now been justified by his blood, will we be saved from wrath through him!
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, while we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more will we be saved by his life now that we have been reconciled!
11 and not this only, but also having joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.
Not only that, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received 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—
Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death came through sin, in this way death has come to all men, because all have 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 until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not charged to anyone's account when there is 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, death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those whose sins were not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one 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 gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through the trespass of the one man, how much more have the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one man Jesus Christ abounded to many!
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 the gift cannot be compared to the result of the one man's sin; for the judgment that arose from one trespass brought condemnation, but the gift that arose from many trespasses brought justification.
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, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through the one man, how much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man 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.
So then, just as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for 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 many were made sinners through the disobedience of one man, so also many will be made righteous through the obedience of one man.
20 Moreover the law came in in addition, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace abounded much more;
Now the law came in so that the trespass might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded all the more,
