Romans 5
1 Having, therefore, been declared righteous by faith, let us have, peace, towards God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, —
Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;
2 Through whom also we have had, our introduction, [by our faith] into this favour wherein we stand; and let us boast in hope of the glory of God.
through whom we also have our access by faith into this grace in which we stand. We rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
3 And, not only so, but let us boast also in our tribulations; knowing that, our tribulation, worketh out endurance.
Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces perseverance;
4 And, our endurance, a testing, and, our testing, hope,
and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope;
5 And, our hope, putteth not to shame. Because, the love of God, hath been poured out in our hearts, through the Holy Spirit that hath been given unto us:
and hope doesn’t disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
6 Seeing that, Christ, we being weak as yet, seasonably, in behalf of such as were ungodly, died.
For while we were yet weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.
7 For, scarcely in behalf of a righteous man, will one die, —in behalf of the good man indeed, peradventure one even dareth to die;
For one will hardly die for a righteous man. Yet perhaps for a good person someone would even dare to die.
8 But God commendeth his own love unto us in that—we as yet being sinners, Christ in our behalf died.
But God commends his own love towards us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Much more, then, having now been declared righteous by his blood, shall we be saved through him from the anger.
Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we will be saved from God’s wrath through him.
10 For, if being enemies we were reconciled unto God through the death of his Son, much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.
For if while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we will be saved by his life.
11 And, not only, so, but are even boasting in God, through our Lord Jesus [Christ], —through whom, now, the reconciliation we have received.
Not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.
12 For this cause, —just as, through one man, sin into the world entered, and through sin, death, —and, so, unto all men death passed through, for that all had sinned; —
Therefore, as sin entered into the world through one man, and death through sin, so death passed to all men because all sinned.
13 For, until law, sin was in the world, although sin is not reckoned when there is no law, —
For until the law, sin was in the world; but sin is not charged when there is no law.
14 Yet still, death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over them who had not sinned after the likeness of the transgression of Adam, —who is a type of the Coming One; —
Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those whose sins weren’t like Adam’s disobedience, who is a foreshadowing of him who was to come.
15 But, not as the fault, so, [also] the decree of favour, for, if, by the fault of the one, the many died, much more, the favour of God and the free-gift in favour, by the one man Jesus Christ, unto the many superabounded;
But the free gift isn’t like the trespass. For if by the trespass of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many.
16 And, not as through one that sinned, is that which is freely given, for, the sentence of judgment, indeed, was—out of one [fault] into condemnation, whereas, the decree of favour, is—out of many faults, into a recovery of righteousness.
The gift is not as through one who sinned; for the judgement came by one to condemnation, but the free gift followed many trespasses to justification.
17 For, if, by the fault of the one, death reigned through the one, much more, they who the superabundance of the favour and of [the free-gift of] the righteousness do receive, in life, shall reign through the one, Jesus Christ.
For if by the trespass of the one, death reigned through the one; so much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Jesus Christ.
18 Hence then, as through one fault, [the sentence was] unto all men unto condemnation, so, also, through one recovery of righteousness, [the decree of favour] is unto all men for righteous acquittal unto life;
So then as through one trespass, all men were condemned; even so through one act of righteousness, all men were justified to life.
19 For, just as, through the disobedience of the one man, sinners, the many were constituted, so, also, through the obedience of the one, righteous, the many shall be constituted—
For as through the one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the one, many will be made righteous.
20 Law, however, gained admission, in order that the fault might abound, but, where the sin abounded, the favour greatly superabounded:
The law came in that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace abounded more exceedingly,
21 In order that—just as sin reigned in death, so, also, favour, might reign through righteousness unto life age-abiding, through Jesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios g166)
that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios g166)
