Romans 5
1 Having, therefore, been declared righteous by faith, let us have, peace, towards 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 introduction, [by our faith] into this favour wherein we stand; and let us boast 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 boast also in our tribulations; knowing that, our tribulation, worketh out endurance.
Not only so, but we should also rejoice in the sufferings, knowing that the suffering produces perseverance;
4 And, our endurance, a testing, and, our testing, hope,
and the perseverance, proven character; and the proven 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 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 Seeing that, Christ, we being weak as yet, seasonably, in behalf of such as were ungodly, died.
Now then, when we were incapacitated, even so Christ died for the ungodly, at the right moment.
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;
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 unto us in that—we as yet being sinners, Christ in our behalf died.
but God demonstrates His own love toward us in that 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.
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 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.
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 are even boasting in God, through our Lord Jesus [Christ], —through whom, now, the reconciliation we have received.
No wonder we rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the 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; —
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 law, sin was in the world, although sin is not reckoned 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 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 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 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;
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, 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 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 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.
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 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, as through one offense there is condemnation for everyone, so also through one righteous act there is life-giving justification for everyone.
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 constituted sinners, so also through the obedience of the One the many will be constituted righteous.
20 Law, however, gained admission, in order that the fault might abound, but, where the sin abounded, the favour greatly superabounded:
However, law came on the scene so that the offense might abound; but where the sin abounded, the grace superabounded,
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 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)
