Romans 5
1 Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
2 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.
through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.
3 Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces perseverance;
Not only that, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance;
4 and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope;
perseverance, character; and character, hope.
5 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.
And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us.
6 For while we were yet weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.
For at just the right time, while we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.
7 For one will hardly die for a righteous man. Yet perhaps for a good person someone would even dare to die.
Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die.
8 But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
But God proves His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we will be saved from God’s wrath through him.
Therefore, since we have now been justified by His blood, how much more shall we be saved from wrath through Him!
10 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.
For if, when we were enemies of God, we were reconciled to Him through the death of His Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through His life!
11 Not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.
Not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
12 Therefore, as sin entered into the world through one man, and death through sin, so death passed to all men because all sinned.
Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, so also death was passed on to all men, because all sinned.
13 For until the law, sin was in the world; but sin is not charged when there is no law.
For sin was in the world before the law was given; but sin is not taken into account when there is no law.
14 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.
Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who did not sin in the way that Adam transgressed. He is a pattern of the One to come.
15 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.
But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many!
16 The gift is not as through one who sinned; for the judgment came by one to condemnation, but the free gift followed many trespasses to justification.
Again, the gift is not like the result of the one man’s sin: The judgment that followed one sin brought condemnation, but the gift that followed many trespasses brought justification.
17 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.
For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive an abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!
18 So then as through one trespass, all men were condemned; even so through one act of righteousness, all men were justified to life.
So then, just as one trespass brought condemnation for all men, so also one act of righteousness brought justification and life for all men.
19 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.
For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.
20 The law came in that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace abounded more exceedingly,
The law came in so that the trespass would increase; but where sin increased, grace increased all the more,
