Romans 5
1 Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;
Therefore, since we have been justified by 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 access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we boast 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 boast in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces endurance,
4 and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope;
endurance produces proven character, proven character produces 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 put to shame, because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
6 For while we were yet weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.
For when we were still weak, at the right time 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.
Rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though perhaps for a good person someone might even 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 demonstrated his own love for us in that, 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.
How much more then, since we have now been justified by his blood, will 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, while we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more will we be saved by his life now that we have been reconciled!
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 boast 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 came into the world through one man, and death came through sin, in this way death has come to all men, because all have sinned.
13 For until the law, sin was in the world; but sin is not charged when there is no law.
For until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not charged to anyone's 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 whose sins were not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type 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 many died through the trespass of the one man, how much more have the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one man Jesus Christ abounded to 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.
And the gift cannot be compared to the result of the one man's sin; for the judgment that arose from one trespass brought condemnation, but the gift that arose from 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 the one man, how much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and 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 led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to 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 many were made sinners through the disobedience of one man, so also many will be made righteous through the obedience of one man.
20 The law came in that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace abounded more exceedingly,
Now the law came in so that the trespass might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded all the more,
