Romans 5
1 Since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore, since we have been 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.
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.
3 Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings. We know that suffering produces endurance.
Not only that, but we also boast in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces endurance,
4 Endurance produces character, and character produces certain hope,
endurance produces proven character, proven character produces 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 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.
6 For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.
For when we were still weak, at the right 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.
Rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though perhaps for a good person someone might 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 demonstrated his own love for us in that, while we were still 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.
How much more then, since we have now been justified by his blood, will we 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, 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!
11 Not only this, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we now have received this reconciliation.
Not only that, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
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.
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.
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 charged to anyone's account 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 until Moses, even over those whose sins were not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one 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 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!
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 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.
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 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!
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.
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.
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 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.
20 But the law came in to increase the trespass. But where sin abounded, grace abounded even more.
Now the law came in so that the trespass might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded all the more,
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)
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)
