< Romans 5 >
1 Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;
Therefore having been justified by faith, let us have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
2 through whom we also have our access by faith into this grace in which we stand. We rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
through whom we also have access by faith unto this grace in which we stand, and let us rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.
3 Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces perseverance;
And not only so, but let us also rejoice in tribulation; knowing that tribulation works out endurance;
4 and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope;
and endurance, approval; and approval, hope:
5 and hope doesn’t disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
and hope makes not ashamed; because the divine love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Ghost who has been given unto us.
6 For while we were yet weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.
For we being yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly:
7 For one will hardly die for a righteous man. Yet perhaps for a good person someone would even dare to die.
for scarcely will one die for a righteous man; for perhaps some one even dares to die for a good man.
8 But God commends his own love towards us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
And God commends his love to us, because, we being yet sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we will be saved from God’s wrath through him.
How much more then, having now been justified by his blood, shall 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, being reconciled, we will be saved by his life.
For if being enemies we are reconciled to God through the death of his Son; how much more, being reconciled, shall we be saved through his life:
11 Not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.
but not only so, but even rejoicing in God through Jesus Christ our Lord, through whom we now received reconciliation.
12 Therefore, as sin entered into the world through one man, and death through sin, so death passed to all men because all sinned.
Therefore, as by one man sin came into the world, and death by sin; and thus death came upon all men, in that all sinned;
13 For until the law, sin was in the world; but sin is not charged when there is no law.
(for until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed, there being no law;
14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those whose sins weren’t like Adam’s disobedience, who is a foreshadowing of him who was to come.
but death reigned from Adam unto Moses, even on those who did not sin after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the type of him who is to come.
15 But the free gift isn’t like the trespass. For if by the trespass of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many.
But not as was the transgression, even so is the free gift: for if by the transgression of one many died, how much more by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, did the grace of God and the gift abound unto many!
16 The gift is not as through one who sinned; for the judgement came by one to condemnation, but the free gift followed many trespasses to justification.
And not as by the one having sinned, is the free gift; for indeed, judgment was from one unto condemnation, but the free gift is from many transgressions unto justification.
17 For if by the trespass of the one, death reigned through the one; so much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Jesus Christ.
For if by the transgression of one death reigned through one; how much more shall those receiving the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Christ Jesus!)
18 So then as through one trespass, all men were condemned; even so through one act of righteousness, all men were justified to life.
Therefore then, as by the transgression of one, judgment came to all men to condemnation; so also through the righteousness of one, the free gift came on all men unto the justification of life:
19 For as through the one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the one, many will be made righteous.
for as by the disobedience of one man many were made sinners, so also by the obedience of one man shall many be made righteous.
20 The law came in that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace abounded more exceedingly,
But the law came, that the transgression might abound; but where sin did abound, there did grace superabound:
21 that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios )
in order that as sin reigned through death, so may grace reign also through righteousness unto eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios )
