Romanos 5
1 Justificati ergo ex fide, pacem habeamus ad Deum per Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum:
Therefore, having been justified by faith, let us be at peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
2 per quem et habemus accessum per fidem in gratiam istam, in qua stamus, et gloriamur in spe gloriæ filiorum Dei.
through whom also we have had the access, by the Faith, into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
3 Non solum autem, sed et gloriamur in tribulationibus: scientes quod tribulatio patientiam operatur:
Not only so, but we should also rejoice in the sufferings, knowing that the suffering produces perseverance;
4 patientia autem probationem, probatio vero spem,
and the perseverance, proven character; and the proven character, hope;
5 spes autem non confundit: quia caritas Dei diffusa est in cordibus nostris per Spiritum Sanctum, qui datus est nobis.
and the hope does not humiliate, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
6 Ut quid enim Christus, cum adhuc infirmi essemus, secundum tempus, pro impiis mortuus est?
Now then, when we were incapacitated, even so Christ died for the ungodly, at the right moment.
7 vix enim pro justo quis moritur: nam pro bono forsitan quis audeat mori.
Now scarcely even for a righteous person will someone offer to die (although on behalf of a good man someone might dare even to die),
8 Commendat autem caritatem suam Deus in nobis: quoniam cum adhuc peccatores essemus, secundum tempus,
but God demonstrates His own love toward us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us!
9 Christus pro nobis mortuus est: multo igitur magis nunc justificati in sanguine ipsius, salvi erimus ab ira per ipsum.
So now that we have been justified by His blood, how much more shall we be saved from the wrath through Him!
10 Si enim cum inimici essemus, reconciliati sumus Deo per mortem filii ejus: multo magis reconciliati, salvi erimus in vita ipsius.
Because since we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, while we were enemies, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through His life!
11 Non solum autem: sed et gloriamur in Deo per Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum, per quem nunc reconciliationem accepimus.
No wonder we rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation!
12 Propterea sicut per unum hominem peccatum in hunc mundum intravit, et per peccatum mors, et ita in omnes homines mors pertransiit, in quo omnes peccaverunt.
Now then, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, just so death spread to all men, because all sinned
13 Usque ad legem enim peccatum erat in mundo: peccatum autem non imputabatur, cum lex non esset.
—sin was in the world before the law, to be sure, but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
14 Sed regnavit mors ab Adam usque ad Moysen etiam in eos qui non peccaverunt in similitudinem prævaricationis Adæ, qui est forma futuri.
Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who did not sin in the likeness of Adam's transgression (he is a type of the coming one).
15 Sed non sicut delictum, ita et donum: si enim unius delicto multi mortui sunt: multo magis gratia Dei et donum in gratia unius hominis Jesu Christi in plures abundavit.
Now the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one, how much more did God's grace and the bounty by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many!
16 Et non sicut per unum peccatum, ita et donum. Nam judicium quidem ex uno in condemnationem: gratia autem ex multis delictis in justificationem.
Again, the gift is not like what came from one man's having sinned: because the judgment into condemnation followed one offense, while the gracious gift into justification followed many offenses.
17 Si enim unius delicto mors regnavit per unum: multo magis abundantiam gratiæ, et donationis, et justitiæ accipientes, in vita regnabunt per unum Jesum Christum.
Further, if by the offense of the one man death reigned through that man, much more will those who receive the abundance of the grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.
18 Igitur sicut per unius delictum in omnes homines in condemnationem: sic et per unius justitiam in omnes homines in justificationem vitæ.
So then, as through one offense there is condemnation for everyone, so also through one righteous act there is life-giving justification for everyone.
19 Sicut enim per inobedientiam unius hominis, peccatores constituti sunt multi: ita et per unius obeditionem, justi constituentur multi.
For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were constituted sinners, so also through the obedience of the One the many will be constituted righteous.
20 Lex autem subintravit ut abundaret delictum. Ubi autem abundavit delictum, superabundavit gratia:
However, law came on the scene so that the offense might abound; but where the sin abounded, the grace superabounded,
21 ut sicut regnavit peccatum in mortem: ita et gratia regnet per justitiam in vitam æternam, per Jesum Christum Dominum nostrum. (aiōnios g166)
so that just as sin reigned in the death, so also the grace might reign through righteousness into eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios g166)
