< Romans 5 >
1 Having, therefore, been declared righteous by faith, let us have, peace, towards God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, —
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
2 Through whom also we have had, our introduction, [by our faith] into this favour wherein we stand; and let us boast in hope of the glory of God.
through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.
3 And, not only so, but let us boast also in our tribulations; knowing that, our tribulation, worketh out endurance.
Not only that, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance;
4 And, our endurance, a testing, and, our testing, hope,
perseverance, character; and character, hope.
5 And, our hope, putteth not to shame. Because, the love of God, hath been poured out in our hearts, through the Holy Spirit that hath been given unto us:
And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us.
6 Seeing that, Christ, we being weak as yet, seasonably, in behalf of such as were ungodly, died.
For at just the right time, while we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.
7 For, scarcely in behalf of a righteous man, will one die, —in behalf of the good man indeed, peradventure one even dareth to die;
Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die.
8 But God commendeth his own love unto us in that—we as yet being sinners, Christ in our behalf died.
But God proves His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Much more, then, having now been declared righteous by his blood, shall we be saved through him from the anger.
Therefore, since we have now been justified by His blood, how much more shall we be saved from wrath through Him!
10 For, if being enemies we were reconciled unto God through the death of his Son, much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.
For if, when we were enemies of God, we were reconciled to Him through the death of His Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through His life!
11 And, not only, so, but are even boasting in God, through our Lord Jesus [Christ], —through whom, now, the reconciliation we have received.
Not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
12 For this cause, —just as, through one man, sin into the world entered, and through sin, death, —and, so, unto all men death passed through, for that all had sinned; —
Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, so also death was passed on to all men, because all sinned.
13 For, until law, sin was in the world, although sin is not reckoned when there is no law, —
For sin was in the world before the law was given; but sin is not taken into account when there is no law.
14 Yet still, death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over them who had not sinned after the likeness of the transgression of Adam, —who is a type of the Coming One; —
Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who did not sin in the way that Adam transgressed. He is a pattern of the One to come.
15 But, not as the fault, so, [also] the decree of favour, for, if, by the fault of the one, the many died, much more, the favour of God and the free-gift in favour, by the one man Jesus Christ, unto the many superabounded;
But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many!
16 And, not as through one that sinned, is that which is freely given, for, the sentence of judgment, indeed, was—out of one [fault] into condemnation, whereas, the decree of favour, is—out of many faults, into a recovery of righteousness.
Again, the gift is not like the result of the one man’s sin: The judgment that followed one sin brought condemnation, but the gift that followed many trespasses brought justification.
17 For, if, by the fault of the one, death reigned through the one, much more, they who the superabundance of the favour and of [the free-gift of] the righteousness do receive, in life, shall reign through the one, Jesus Christ.
For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive an abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!
18 Hence then, as through one fault, [the sentence was] unto all men unto condemnation, so, also, through one recovery of righteousness, [the decree of favour] is unto all men for righteous acquittal unto life;
So then, just as one trespass brought condemnation for all men, so also one act of righteousness brought justification and life for all men.
19 For, just as, through the disobedience of the one man, sinners, the many were constituted, so, also, through the obedience of the one, righteous, the many shall be constituted—
For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.
20 Law, however, gained admission, in order that the fault might abound, but, where the sin abounded, the favour greatly superabounded:
The law came in so that the trespass would increase; but where sin increased, grace increased all the more,
21 In order that—just as sin reigned in death, so, also, favour, might reign through righteousness unto life age-abiding, through Jesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios )
so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios )
