Romans 5
1 Since we are 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 him we also have our access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in the certain 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 this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings. We know that suffering produces endurance.
And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation works patience;
4 Endurance produces character, and character produces certain hope,
And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
5 and that hope does not disappoint because the love of God has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
And hope makes not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given to us.
6 For while 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 For one will hardly die for a righteous man. That is, perhaps someone would dare to die for a good person.
For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
8 But God proves his own love toward us, because while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
But God commends his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Much more, then, now that we are justified by his blood, we will be saved by it from the wrath of God.
Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
10 For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, after having been reconciled, will 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 Not only this, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we now have received this 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 So then, as through one man sin entered into the world, in this way death entered through sin. And death spread to all people, because all sinned.
Why, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed on all men, for that all have sinned:
13 For until the law, sin was in the world, but there is no accounting for sin 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 ruled from Adam until Moses, even over those who did not sin like Adam's disobedience, who is a pattern of him who was 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 by the trespass of one the many died, how much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound for the many!
But not as the offense, so also is the free gift. For if through the offense of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, has abounded to many.
16 For the gift is not like the outcome of that one man's sin. The judgment followed one trespass and brought condemnation, but the gift followed many trespasses and 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 offenses to justification.
17 For if, by the trespass of the one, death ruled through the one, how much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Jesus Christ.
For if by one man’s offense 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, by one trespass condemnation came to all people, so also one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all people.
Therefore as by the offense of one judgment came on all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came on all men to justification of life.
19 For as through the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the one will the many be made righteous.
For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
20 But the law came in to increase the trespass. But where sin abounded, grace abounded even more.
Moreover the law entered, that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
21 This happened so that, as sin ruled in death, even so grace might rule through righteousness for everlasting life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios g166)
That as sin has reigned to death, even so might grace reign through righteousness to eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios g166)
