< Romans 5 >
1 Having been declared righteous, then, by faith, we have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
Wherefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ--
2 through whom also we have the access by the faith into this grace in which we have stood, and we boast on the hope of the glory of God.
through whom we have had introduction, also, by faith, into this favor in which we stand, and rejoice in the hope of the glory of God:
3 And not only [so], but we also boast in the tribulations, knowing that the tribulation doth work endurance;
and not only so, but we rejoice even in afflictions; knowing that affliction produces patience;
4 and the endurance, experience; and the experience, hope;
and patience, approbation; and approbation, hope.
5 and the hope doth not make ashamed, because the love of God hath been poured forth in our hearts through the Holy Spirit that hath been given to us.
And this hope makes not ashamed: because the love of God is diffused in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, that is given us.
6 For in our being still ailing, Christ in due time did die for the impious;
Besides, we being yet weak, in the appointed time Christ died for the ungodly.
7 for scarcely for a righteous man will any one die, for for the good man perhaps some one also doth dare to die;
Now, scarcely for a just man will one die, though for a good man one would, perhaps, even dare to die.
8 and God doth commend His own love to us, that, in our being still sinners, Christ did die for us;
But God recommends his love to us; because, while we were yet sinner, Christ died for us.
9 much more, then, having been declared righteous now in his blood, we shall be saved through him from the wrath;
Much more, then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
10 for if, being enemies, we have been reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved in his life.
For if, being enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son; much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
11 And not only [so], but we are also boasting in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom now we did receive the reconciliation;
And not only so, but we even rejoice in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, though whom we have now received reconciliation.
12 because of this, even as through one man the sin did enter into the world, and through the sin the death; and thus to all men the death did pass through, for that all did sin;
Wherefore, as sin entered into the world by one man, in whom all sinned, and by sin, death: thus death came upon all men.
13 for till law sin was in the world: and sin is not reckoned when there is not law;
(For sin was in the world until the law: but sin is not imputed, when there is no law.
14 but the death did reign from Adam till Moses, even upon those not having sinned in the likeness of Adam's transgression, who is a type of him who is coming.
Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them who had not sinned, in the manner of Adam's transgression, who is a type of him that was to come.
15 But, not as the offence so also [is] the free gift; for if by the offence of the one the many did die, much more did the grace of God, and the free gift in grace of the one man Jesus Christ, abound to the many;
But not as the offense, so also is the free gift: for if by the offense of the one, the many died; much more the favor of God, and the gift by favor, which is of the one man, Jesus Christ, has abounded to the many.
16 and not as through one who did sin [is] the free gift, for the judgment indeed [is] of one to condemnation, but the gift [is] of many offences to a declaration of 'Righteous,'
And not as through one who sinner, is the free gift: for the sentence was from one to condemnation; but the free gift is from many offenses to justification.
17 for if by the offence of the one the death did reign through the one, much more those, who the abundance of the grace and of the free gift of the righteousness are receiving, in life shall reign through the one — Jesus Christ.
For if by the offense of the one, death reigned by the one; much more shall they who receive the abundance of favor, and of the gift of justification, reign in life, by the one--Jesus Christ.)
18 So, then, as through one offence to all men [it is] to condemnation, so also through one declaration of 'Righteous' [it is] to all men to justification of life;
Now, therefore, as through one offense, the sentence came upon all men to condemnation: so, also, by one act of obedience, the sentence came upon all men to justification of life.
19 for as through the disobedience of the one man, the many were constituted sinners: so also through the obedience of the one, shall the many be constituted righteous.
For, as through the disobedience of the one, the many were constituted sinners; so, by the obedience of the one, the many shall be constituted righteous.
20 And law came in, that the offence might abound, and where the sin did abound, the grace did overabound,
Moreover, the law supervened, that the offense might abound; but where sin abounded, favor superabounded--
21 that even as the sin did reign in the death, so also the grace may reign, through righteousness, to life age-during, through Jesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios )
that as sin reigned by death, so, also, favor might reign by justification to eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios )
