Romans 5
1 Because we trusted [in Christ], the record of our sins has been erased {[God] has erased the record of our sins}. So we [now] have a peaceful relationship with God because of our trust in what our Lord Jesus Christ [has done for us].
Daar we dus door het geloof gerechtvaardigd zijn, zo laat ons de vrede bewaren met God door Jesus Christus, onzen Heer.
2 Because of [what] Christ [has done], God has also enabled us to begin experiencing his continually acting toward us in ways that we do not deserve. Also, we rejoice because we are confidently expecting that God [will gladly show] us how great he is.
Door Hem hebben we door het geloof toegang verkregen tot deze genade, waarin we vast zijn komen staan; door Hem ook roemen we in de hoop op de heerlijkheid Gods.
3 We rejoice even when we suffer [as a result of our trusting in Christ], because we know that when we are suffering, the result is that we learn to endure things [patiently].
En hierin niet alleen, maar zelfs in de wederwaardigheden gaan we roemen, omdat we weten, dat wederwaardigheid geduld voortbrengt,
4 And [we know] that when we endure things [patiently], the result is that [God] approves [of us]. And when we [know that God] approves [of us], the result is that we confidently expect [that he will do great things for us].
geduld beproefde deugd, beproefde deugd weer hoop.
5 And we are very confident [PRS] that we will receive the things that we wait expectantly [for], because God loves us very much. His Holy Spirit, who has been {whom [he] has} given to us, [causes] us to understand how much God loves us.
Welnu, de hoop wordt niet beschaamd, omdat de liefde Gods is uitgestort in onze harten door den heiligen Geest, die ons geschonken is.
6 When we were unable [to save ourselves], it was Christ who, at the time [that God chose], died on behalf of [us] ungodly [people].
Want toen we nog zwak waren, is Christus op de gestelde tijd voor goddelozen gestorven.
7 Rarely would anyone die on behalf of another person, [even if] that person were righteous, although someone might be courageous enough to die on behalf of a truly good person person.
Welnu, niet licht zal iemand zijn leven voor een rechtvaardige geven, al blijft het mógelijk, dat iemand het van zich verkrijgt, voor een goede te sterven.
8 Nevertheless, as for God, the way he showed us that he loves us is that Christ died on our behalf while we were still rebelling against God.
Maar God bewijst zijn liefde voor ons, doordat Christus voor ons is gestorven, toen we nog zondaars waren.
9 The record of our sins has been erased {[God] has erased the record of our sins} because of [what Christ accomplished when] his blood [MTY] [flowed when he died]. So it is even more certain that we will be saved by Christ {that Christ will save us} from God’s punishing us [eternally] [MTY].
Hoeveel te meer dus zullen we thans door Hem van de toorn worden gered, nu we gerechtvaardigd zijn door zijn Bloed.
10 Even when we were acting hostilely towards God, he enabled us to have a peaceful relationship with him as a result of his Son dying [for us]. So it is even more certain that we will be saved {Christ will be able to save us} [from God’s punishing us] [MTY] because Christ is alive [again] and because [God] has enabled us to have a peaceful relationship [with himself].
Want zo we met God zijn verzoend door de Dood van zijn Zoon, toen we nog vijanden waren, hoeveel te meer zullen we gered worden door zijn Léven, nu we Hem zijn verzoend.
11 And that’s not all! Now we also rejoice about [the things that] God [has done for us] because of our Lord Jesus Christ [dying for us] and enabling us to have a peaceful relationship with God.
En dit niet alleen; maar we roemen zelfs in God door onzen Heer Jesus Christus, door wien we thans de verzoening hebben verworven.
12 [What you can learn from what I have written so far is as follows]: All people are sinful [PRS], and that is the result of [Adam, the first] man whom [God created, sinning long ago]. Adam died [PRS] because he sinned. So, all people [who have lived since then] die, because [it is as though] all people sinned [when Adam sinned].
Zoals dan door één mens de zonde in de wereld is gekomen en door de zonde de dood, zo ook is de dood over alle mensen gekomen, omdat allen hebben gezondigd.
13 [People in] [MTY] the world sinned before [God gave his] laws [to Moses]. But people are not considered [by God] {[God] does not consider people} to be guilty for their sins if there is no law [stating that what they did was sinful].
Zeker, tot aan de Wet was er zonde in de wereld; maar de zonde wordt niet aangerekend, als er geen Wet bestaat.
14 But [we know] that from [the time when] Adam [lived] until [the time when] Moses [lived], all people sinned, and they died [as a consequence] [PRS, MET]. Even people who sinned differently from the way Adam [sinned, died]. [Adam’s sin] affected [all people], just like what [Christ did], the one who came later, can affect all people.
En toch heeft de dood geheerst van Adam af tot Moses toe, zelfs over hen, die persoonlijk niet hadden gezondigd naar het voorbeeld der overtreding van Adam, die de voorafbeelding is van Hem, die komen moest.
15 But [the results of God’s erasing the record of our sins as] a gift to us are not like [the results of Adam’s] sinning. The result of one man, [Adam], sinning was that many/all people have died. But [it is certain], [however], that many people have abundantly experienced God’s acting kindly toward them in a way they did not deserve. [It is also certain] that they have experienced God’s erasing the record of their sins as the result of one man, Jesus Christ, acting kindly toward them/towards them in a way they did not deserve.
Maar met de genadegave is het niet gesteld als met de val. Want al zijn door de val van één al die velen gestorven, veel overvloediger is de genade van God en de genadegift van den énen mens, Jesus Christus, over al die velen uitgestort.
16 And [there is another way in which God’s] freely [erasing the record of our sins] is not like [the results of Adam’s] sinning. One person, [Adam, sinned]. As a result, God declared that all people deserve to be punished. Many people sinned. But what God did was that he erased the record of their sins without their earning it.
Ook is het met de gift niet gesteld als met het vonnis over het zondigen van één. Want het vonnis leidde van één enkele overtreding tot verdoemenis, maar de genade van vele overtredingen tot rechtvaardiging.
17 All people die [MET, PRS] because of what one man, [Adam], did. But now many of us experience that God has abundantly acted towards us in ways we did not deserve, and we experience that he has erased the record of our sins without our earning it. It is also very certain that we will rule [with Christ] (OR, share [the glory] of Christ’s being king), [in heaven. This will happen] because of [what] one man, Jesus Christ, [did for us].
En al heeft door de val van één de dood geheerst door dien éne, veel heerlijker zullen zij, die de overvloed der genade en de gave der gerechtigheid ontvangen, in het leven heersen door Eén, door Jesus Christus.
18 So, [because one man, Adam], disobeyed [God’s law], that resulted in all people deserving to be punished {that God punish them}. Similarly, because one man, [Jesus], acted righteously [by obeying God when he died], the result was that God is [able to erase the record of] all people’s sins and [enable them to] live eternally.
Zoals dus door de val van één over alle mensen verdoemenis is gekomen, zo komt ook door de gerechtigheid van Eén over alle mensen de rechtvaardiging ten leven.
19 It was because one person, [Adam], disobeyed [God] that many/all people became sinners. Similarly, it is because one person, [Jesus], obeyed [God when he died] that the record of many people’s sins will be erased {that [he] will erase the record of many people’s sins}.
Want zoals door de ongehoorzaamheid van één mens al die velen tot zondaars zijn geworden, zo zullen ook door de gehoorzaamheid van Eén al die velen gerechtvaardigd worden.
20 [God gave] [PRS] his laws [to Moses] [PRS] in order that [people might realize] how greatly they had sinned; but as people sinned more, God continued to act even more kindly toward them, in a way that they did not deserve.
Toen kwam de Wet tussenbeide, om de overtreding nog talrijker te maken. Doch waar de zonde tot overvloed kwam, daar kwam de genade in rijker overvloed.
21 He did that in order that just like people everywhere inevitably sin, [which results in their] dying [MET, PRS], people everywhere might inevitably experience God’s acting kindly towards them in a way they do not deserve [MET, PRS] by [erasing the record of their sins]. [The result is that people can] live eternally because of what Jesus Christ our Lord [did for them]. (aiōnios g166)
Dus, zoals de zonde heeft geheerst door de dood, zo zal ook de genade heersen door de gerechtigheid ten eeuwigen leven door Jesus Christus onzen Heer. (aiōnios g166)
