Romans 5
1 Therfor we, iustified of feith, haue we pees at God bi oure Lord Jhesu Crist.
THEREFORE being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
2 Bi whom we han niy goyng to, bi feith in to this grace, in which we stonden, and han glorie in the hope of the glorie of Goddis children.
By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
3 And not this oneli, but also we glorien in tribulaciouns, witynge that tribulacioun worchith pacience,
And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
4 and pacience preuyng, and preuyng hope.
And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
5 And hope confoundith not, for the charite of God is spred abrood in oure hertis bi the Hooli Goost, that is youun to vs.
And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
6 And while that we weren sijk aftir the tyme, what diede Crist for wickid men?
For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
7 For vnnethis dieth ony man for the iust man; and yit for a good man perauenture summan dar die.
For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
8 But God comendith his charite in vs; for if whanne we weren yit synneris,
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
9 aftir the tyme Crist was deed for vs, thanne myche more now we iustified in his blood, schulen be saaf fro wraththe bi him.
Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
10 For if whanne we weren enemyes, we ben recounselid to God bi the deth of his sone, myche more we recounselid schulen be saaf in the lijf of hym.
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 oneli this, but also we glorien in God, bi oure Lord Jhesu Crist, bi whom we han resseyued now recounseling.
And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
12 Therfor as bi o man synne entride in to this world, and bi synne deth, and so deth passide forth in to alle men, in which man alle men synneden.
Wherefore, 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 `til to the lawe synne was in the world; but synne was not rettid, whanne lawe was not.
(For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
14 But deth regnyde from Adam `til to Moises, also in to hem that synneden not in licnesse of the trespassyng of Adam, the which is licnesse of Crist to comynge.
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 gilt, so the yifte; for if thorouy the gilt of oon manye ben deed, myche more the grace of God and the yifte in the grace of o man Jhesu Crist hath aboundid in to many men.
But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
16 And not as bi o synne, so bi the yifte; for the doom of oon in to condempnacioun, but grace of many giltis in to iustificacioun.
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 unto justification.
17 For if in the gilt of oon deth regnede thorouy oon, myche more men that takyn plente of grace, and of yyuyng, and of riytwisnesse, schulen regne in lijf bi oon Jhesu Crist.
For if by one man’s offence 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 Therfor as bi the gilt of oon in to alle men in to condempnacioun, so bi the riytwisnesse of oon in to alle men in to iustifiyng of lijf.
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 unto justification of life.
19 For as bi inobedience of o man manye ben maad synneris, so bi the obedience of oon manye schulen be iust.
For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
20 And the lawe entride, that gilt schulde be plenteuouse; but where gilt was plenteuouse,
Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
21 grace was more plenteuouse. That as synne regnede in to deth, so grace regne bi riytwisnesse in to euerlastynge lijf, bi `Crist Jhesu oure Lord. (aiōnios g166)
That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios g166)
