< Romans 5 >
1 Therefore being 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 also we have admission by faith into this grace in which we stand, and boast in hope of the glory of God.
By whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
3 And not only so, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation worketh patience,
And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
4 and patience experience,
And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
5 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.
And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who is given to us.
6 For when we were yet without strength, Christ died in due season for the ungodly.
For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
7 Whereas one would hardly die for a just man, though perhaps for a good man one might dare even to die.
For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet perhaps for a good man some would even dare to die.
8 But God recommendeth his love towards us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, shall we be saved from wrath through Him.
Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
10 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.
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 And not only so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received reconciliation.
And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the reconciliation.
12 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:
Therefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
13 for sin was in the world before the law. Now sin is not imputed where there is no law;
( For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
14 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.
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 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.
But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many are dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded to many.
16 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.
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 offences to justification.
17 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.
For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
18 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.
Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men to justification of life.
19 For as by the disobedience of one man many were made sinners; so by the obedience of One shall 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 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,
Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
21 so grace might reign through righteousness, unto eternal life, by Jesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios )
That as sin hath reigned to death, even so might grace reign through righteousness to eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios )
