Romans 5
1 Therefore, having been pronounced righteous as the result of faith, let us enjoy peace with God through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Therefore having been made righteous from faith, we have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
2 It is through him that, by reason of our faith, we have obtained admission to that place in God’s favour in which we now stand. So let us exult in our hope of attaining God’s glorious ideal.
through whom also we have access by faith for this grace in which we stand, and we take pride in hope of the glory of God.
3 And not only that, but let us also exult in our troubles;
And not only so, but we also take pride in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance,
4 for we know that trouble develops endurance, and endurance strength of character, and strength of character hope,
and perseverance, character, and character, hope.
5 and that hope never disappoints. For the love of God has filled our hearts through the Holy Spirit which was given us;
And hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit that was given to us.
6 seeing that, while we were still powerless, Christ, in God’s good time, died on behalf of the godless.
For while we were yet weak, in due time Christ died for the impious.
7 Even for an upright person scarcely anyone will die. For a really good person perhaps someone might even dare to die.
For scarcely for a righteous man will some man die, indeed perhaps for the good man some man would even dare to die.
8 But God puts his love for us beyond all doubt by the fact that Christ died on our behalf while we were still sinners.
But God commends his love toward us, that, while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Much more, then, now that we have been pronounced righteous by virtue of the shedding of his blood, will we be saved through him from the wrath of God.
Much more then, now having been made righteous by his blood, we will be saved from the wrath through him.
10 For if, when we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, much more, now that we have become reconciled, will we be saved by virtue of Christ’s life.
For if, while being enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more having been reconciled we will be saved by his life.
11 And not only that, but we exult in God, through Jesus Christ, our Lord, through whom we have now obtained this reconciliation.
And not only so, but also taking pride in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.
12 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and through sin came death; so, also, death spread to all humanity, because every person has sinned.
Because of this, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, so also death passed to all men, in that all sinned.
13 Even before the time of the Law there was sin in the world; but sin cannot be charged against someone where no Law exists.
For until law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
14 Yet, from Adam to Moses, death reigned even over those whose sin was not a breach of a law, as Adam’s was. And Adam foreshadows the one to come.
Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who did not sin in the likeness of Adam's transgression, who is a type of the coming man.
15 But there is a contrast between Adam’s offence and God’s gracious gift. For, if by reason of the offence of the one man the whole human race died, far more were the loving kindness of God, and the gift given in the loving kindness of the one man, Jesus Christ, lavished on the whole human race.
But in this way also, the gift is not as the transgression. For if by the trespass of the one man the many died, much more the grace of God, and the gift in grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abounded for the many.
16 There is a contrast, too, between the gift and the results of the one man’s sin. The judgment, which followed on the one man’s sin, resulted in condemnation, but God’s gracious gift, which followed on many offences, resulted in a decree of righteousness.
And the gift is not as through one man who sinned, for indeed the judgment from one man was for condemnation, but the gift from many offenses is for righteousness.
17 For if, by reason of the offence of the one man, death reigned through that one man, far more will those, on whom God’s loving kindness and his gift of righteousness are lavished, find life, and reign through the one man, Jesus Christ.
For if, by the offense of the one man, death reigned through the one man, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ.
18 Briefly then, just as a single offence resulted for all humanity in condemnation, so, too, a single decree of righteousness resulted for all humanity in that declaration of righteousness which brings life.
So then, as through an offense of one man was for condemnation for all men, so also through a righteousness of one man was for justification of life for all men.
19 For, as through the disobedience of the one man the whole human race was rendered sinful, so, too, through the obedience of the one, the whole human race will be rendered righteous.
For as through the one man's disobedience the many were led sinful, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be led righteous.
20 Law was introduced in order that offences might be multiplied. But, where sins were multiplied, the loving kindness of God was lavished the more,
And the law entered so that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace was more abundant,
21 in order that, just as sin had reigned in the realm of death, so, too, might loving-kindness reign through righteousness, and result in eternal life, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. (aiōnios g166)
so that, as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign, through righteousness, for eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios g166)
