Romanos 5
1 Iustificati ergo ex fide, pacem habeamus ad Deum per Dominum nostrum Iesum Christum:
Since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
2 per quem habemus accessum per fidem in gratiam istam, in qua stamus, et gloriamur in spe gloriae filiorum Dei.
Through him we also have our access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in the certain hope of the glory of God.
3 Non solum autem, sed et gloriamur in tribulationibus: scientes quod tribulatio patientiam operatur:
Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings. We know that suffering produces endurance.
4 patientia autem probationem, probatio vero spem,
Endurance produces character, and character produces certain hope,
5 spes autem non confundit: quia charitas Dei diffusa est in cordibus nostris per Spiritum sanctum, qui datus est nobis.
and that hope does not disappoint because the love of God has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
6 Ut quid enim Christus, cum adhuc infirmi essemus, secundum tempus pro impiis mortuus est?
For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.
7 Vix enim pro iusto quis moritur: nam pro bono forsitan quis audeat mori.
For one will hardly die for a righteous man. That is, perhaps someone would dare to die for a good person.
8 Commendat autem charitatem suam Deus in nobis: quoniam si cum adhuc peccatores essemus, secundum tempus,
But God proves his own love toward us, because while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Christus pro nobis mortuus est: multo igitur magis nunc iustificati in sanguine ipsius, salvi erimus ab ira per ipsum.
Much more, then, now that we are justified by his blood, we will be saved by it from the wrath of God.
10 Si enim cum inimici essemus, reconciliati sumus Deo per mortem filii eius: multo magis reconciliati, salvi erimus in vita ipsius.
For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, after having been reconciled, will we be saved by his life.
11 Non solum autem: sed et gloriamur in Deo per Dominum nostrum Iesum Christum, per quem nunc reconciliationem accepimus.
Not only this, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we now have received this 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:
So then, as through one man sin entered into the world, in this way death entered through sin. And death spread to all people, because all sinned.
13 Usque ad legem enim peccatum erat in mundo: peccatum autem non imputabatur, cum lex non esset.
For until the law, sin was in the world, but there is no accounting for sin when there is no law.
14 Sed regnavit mors ab Adam usque ad Moysen etiam in eos, qui non peccaverunt in similitudinem praevaricationis Adae, qui est forma futuri.
Nevertheless, death ruled from Adam until Moses, even over those who did not sin like Adam's disobedience, who is a pattern of him who was to come.
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 Iesu Christi in plures abundavit.
But the gift is not like the trespass. For if by the trespass of one the many died, how much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound for the many!
16 Et non sicut per unum peccatum, ita et donum. nam iudicium quidem ex uno in condemnationem: gratia autem ex multis delictis in iustificationem.
For the gift is not like the outcome of that one man's sin. The judgment followed one trespass and brought condemnation, but the gift followed many trespasses and brought justification.
17 Si enim unius delicto mors regnavit per unum: multo magis abundantiam gratiae, et donationis, et iustitiae accipientes in vita, regnabunt per unum Iesum Christum.
For if, by the trespass of the one, death ruled through the one, how much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and 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 iustitiam in omnes homines in iustificationem vitae.
So then, by one trespass condemnation came to all people, so also one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all people.
19 Sicut enim per inobedientiam unius hominis, peccatores constituti sunt multi: ita et per unius obeditionem, iusti constituentur multi.
For as through the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the one will the many be made righteous.
20 Lex autem subintravit ut abundaret delictum. Ubi autem abundavit delictum, superabundavit et gratia.
But the law came in to increase the trespass. But where sin abounded, grace abounded even more.
21 ut sicut regnavit peccatum in mortem: ita et gratia regnet per iustitiam in vitam aeternam, per Iesum Christum Dominum nostrum. (aiōnios g166)
This happened so that, as sin ruled in death, even so grace might rule through righteousness for everlasting life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios g166)
