Romans 5
1 Being therefore justified by faith, let us have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;
Therefore, having been justified by faith, let us be at peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
2 through whom also we have had our access by faith into this grace wherein we stand; and let us rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
through whom also we have had the access, by the Faith, into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
3 And not only so, but let us also rejoice in our tribulations: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
Not only so, but we should also rejoice in the sufferings, knowing that the suffering produces perseverance;
4 and patience, probation; and probation, hope:
and the perseverance, proven character; and the proven character, hope;
5 and hope putteth not to shame; because the love of God hath been shed abroad in our hearts through the Holy Ghost which was given unto us.
and the hope does not humiliate, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
6 For while we were yet weak, in due season Christ died for the ungodly.
Now then, when we were incapacitated, even so Christ died for the ungodly, at the right moment.
7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: for peradventure for the good man some one would even dare to die.
Now scarcely even for a righteous person will someone offer to die (although on behalf of a good man someone might dare even to die),
8 But God commendeth his own love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
but God demonstrates His own love toward us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us!
9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, shall we be saved from the wrath [of God] through him.
So now that we have been justified by His blood, how much more shall we be saved from the 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, shall we be saved by his life;
Because since we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, while we were enemies, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through His life!
11 and not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.
No wonder we rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation!
12 Therefore, as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin; and so death passed unto all men, for that all sinned: —
Now then, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, just so death spread to all men, because all sinned
13 for until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
—sin was in the world before the law, to be sure, but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the likeness of Adam’s transgression, who is a figure of him that was to come.
Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who did not sin in the likeness of Adam's transgression (he is a type of the coming one).
15 But not as the trespass, so also [is] the free gift. 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 unto the many.
Now the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one, how much more did God's grace and the bounty by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many!
16 And not as through one that sinned, [so] is the gift: for the judgment [came] of one unto condemnation, but the free gift [came] of many trespasses unto justification.
Again, the gift is not like what came from one man's having sinned: because the judgment into condemnation followed one offense, while the gracious gift into justification followed many offenses.
17 For if, by the trespass of the one, death reigned through the one; much more shall they that receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, [even] Jesus Christ.
Further, if by the offense of the one man death reigned through that man, much more will those who receive the abundance of the grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.
18 So then as through one trespass [the judgment came] unto all men to condemnation; even so through one act of righteousness [the free gift came] unto all men to justification of life.
So then, as through one offense there is condemnation for everyone, so also through one righteous act there is life-giving justification for everyone.
19 For as through the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the one shall the many be made righteous.
For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were constituted sinners, so also through the obedience of the One the many will be constituted righteous.
20 And the law came in beside, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace did abound more exceedingly:
However, law came on the scene so that the offense might abound; but where the sin abounded, the grace superabounded,
21 that, as sin reigned in death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios g166)
so that just as sin reigned in the death, so also the grace might reign through righteousness into eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios g166)
