Romans 5
1 Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
2 through whom we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we boast in the hope of the glory of God.
through whom we have had access, by faith, into this grace in which we stand; and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
3 Not only that, but we also boast in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces endurance,
And not only so, but we rejoice in afflictions also; because we know that affliction produces patience,
4 endurance produces proven character, proven character produces hope,
and patience, an approved character, and an approved character, hope;
5 and hope does not put to shame, because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
and this hope disappoints us not; because the love of God is poured abundantly into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that is given to us.
6 For when we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.
For when we were yet without strength, at the appointed time, Christ died for the ungodly.
7 Rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though perhaps for a good person someone might even dare to die.
For hardly, indeed, will one die for a just man; yet, perhaps, for the good man some one would even dare to die.
8 But God demonstrated his own love for us in that, while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
But God makes known his love to us in this, that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us:
9 How much more then, since we have now been justified by his blood, will we be saved from wrath through him!
much more, then, since we are now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from the wrath through him.
10 For if, while we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more will we be saved by his life now that we have been reconciled!
For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.
11 Not only that, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
And not only so, but we rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the reconciliation.
12 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death came through sin, in this way death has come to all men, because all have sinned.
For this reason, as by one man sin entered into the world, and by his sin, death; and so death passed through to all men, because all have sinned:
13 For until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not charged to anyone's account when there is no law.
for till the law, sin was in the world; but sin is not charged where there is no law.
14 Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those whose sins were not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one to come.
Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that did not sin in the likeness of Adam’s transgression, who is the type of him that was to come.
15 But the gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through the trespass of the one man, how much more have the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one man Jesus Christ abounded to many!
But the favor bestowed is not, in all respects, like the offense: for if, by the offense of one, the many have died, much more have the grace of God and the gift which is by the grace of the one man Jesus Christ, been made abundant for the many.
16 And the gift cannot be compared to the result of the one man's sin; for the judgment that arose from one trespass brought condemnation, but the gift that arose from many trespasses brought justification.
And the gift is not like the sentence that came through one who sinned: for the sentence to condemnation was because of one offense; but the favor bestowed in order to justification, is because of many offenses.
17 For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through the one man, how much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ!
For if, by one man’s offense, death has reigned through that one, much more shall those who receive the abundance of the grace, and of the gift of righteousness, reign in life through the one, who is Jesus Christ.
18 So then, just as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men.
Therefore, as, by one offense, sentence came on all men to condemnation, so, also, by one act of righteousness, the gift has come on all men to justification of life.
19 For just as many were made sinners through the disobedience of one man, so also many will be made righteous through the obedience of one man.
For as by the disobedience of the one man the many have been made sinners, so, also, by the obedience of the one, the many shall be made righteous.
20 Now the law came in so that the trespass might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded all the more,
But, besides the first offense, law was introduced, in order that offenses might abound: but where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
21 so that just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios g166)
that as sin has reigned, ending in death, so might grace reign by justification, ending in life eternal, through Jesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios g166)
