< Romans 5 >
1 Being therefore 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 also have our access by faith into this grace in which we stand. We rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
through whom also we have admission by faith into this grace in which we stand, and boast in 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 we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation worketh patience,
4 and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope;
and patience experience,
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 experience hope, and this hope maketh us not ashamed; because the love of God is diffused in our hearts by the holy Spirit that is given to us.
6 For while we were yet weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.
For when we were yet without strength, Christ died in due season 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.
Whereas one would hardly die for a just man, though perhaps for a good man one might dare even to die.
8 But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
But God recommendeth his love towards us, in that, while we were 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.
Much more then, being now 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 when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son; much more being reconciled shall we be saved by 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.
And not only so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have 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.
Wherefore as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin, so death passed upon all men, for to that all have sinned:
13 For until the law, sin was in the world; but sin is not charged when there is no law.
for sin was in the world before the law. Now sin is not imputed where there is 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.
and yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned after the likeness of Adam's transgression, who is the type of Him that was 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 the offence, so also is the free gift: for if through the offence of one many died, much more hath the grace of God, and the gift bestowed by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many.
16 The gift is not as through one who sinned; for the judgment came by one to condemnation, but the free gift followed many trespasses to justification.
For the gift is not as the sentence was by one that sinned; for the sentence is passed from one offence to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences to 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 offence of one, death reigned through one, much more they who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness, shall reign in life through one, even Jesus Christ.
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 as by the offence of one the effect of it was upon all men to condemnation: so also by the righteousness of one, the effect was upon all men to 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 by the obedience of One shall many be made righteous.
20 The law came in that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace abounded more exceedingly,
Now the law made some entrance, that the offence might appear to abound; but where sin abounded, grace hath superabounded; that as sin had reigned in death,
21 that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios )
so grace might reign through righteousness, unto eternal life, by Jesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios )
