< Romans 5 >
1 Having, therefore, been declared righteous by faith, let us have, peace, towards God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, —
Therefore being justified by 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.
By whom also we have access by 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.
And not only [so], but we glory in tribulations also; knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
4 And, our endurance, a testing, and, our testing, hope,
And patience, experience; and experience, 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 maketh not ashamed, because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts, by the Holy Spirit which is given to us.
6 Seeing that, Christ, we being weak as yet, seasonably, in behalf of such as were ungodly, died.
For when we were yet without strength, in due time 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;
For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet perhaps for a good man some would even 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 commendeth his love towards us, in that while we were yet 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.
Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall 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, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son; much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by 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.
And not only [so], but we also joy in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
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; —
Wherefore as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.
13 For, until law, sin was in the world, although sin is not reckoned when there is no law, —
For until the law, sin was in the world: 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 them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was 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 not as the offense, so also [is] the free gift. For if through the offense of one many are dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, [which is] by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded to 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.
And not as [it was] by one that sinned, [so is] the gift. For the judgment [was] by one to condemnation, but the free gift [is] of many offenses to 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 one man's offense death reigned by one; much more they who receive abundance of grace, and of the gift of righteousness, shall reign in life by 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;
Therefore, as by the offense of one, [judgment came] upon all men to condemnation, even so by the righteousness of one [the free gift came] upon all men to justification of life.
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 as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
20 Law, however, gained admission, in order that the fault might abound, but, where the sin abounded, the favour greatly superabounded:
Moreover the law entered, that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
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 )
That as sin hath reigned to death, even so might grace reign through righteousness to eternal life, by Jesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios )
