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.
By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and 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 glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
4 endurance produces proven character, proven character produces hope,
And patience, experience; and experience, 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 hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
6 For when we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.
For when we were yet without strength, in due 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 scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some 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 commendeth his love toward us, in 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, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from 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, 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 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 also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
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.
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 the law sin was in the world, but sin is not charged to anyone's account 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 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.
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 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 not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto 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 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 offences unto justification.
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 offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, 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 the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto 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 one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
20 Now the law came in so that the trespass might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded all the more,
Moreover the law entered, that the offence 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 hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios g166)
