Romans 5
1 Therefore, having been justified by faith, let us be at peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;
2 For through him we also have access by faith to this grace, in which we stand firm, and to glory, in the hope of the glory of the sons 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 that, but we also find glory in tribulation, knowing that tribulation exercises patience,
Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces perseverance;
4 and patience leads to proving, yet truly proving leads to hope,
and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope;
5 but hope is not unfounded, because the love of God is poured forth in our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to 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 Yet why did Christ, while we were still infirm, at the proper time, suffer death for the impious?
For while we were yet weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.
7 Now someone might barely be willing to die for the sake of justice, for example, perhaps someone might dare to die for the sake of a good man.
For one will hardly die for a righteous man. Yet perhaps for a good person someone would even dare to die.
8 But God demonstrates his love for us in that, while we were yet sinners, at the proper time,
But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Christ died for us. Therefore, having been justified now by his blood, all the more so shall we be saved from wrath through him.
Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we will be saved from God’s wrath through him.
10 For if we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, while we were still enemies, all the more so, 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 that, but we also glory in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
Not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.
12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into this world, and through sin, death; so also death was transferred to all men, to all who have 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 even before the law, sin was in the world, but sin was not imputed while the law did not exist.
For until the law, sin was in the world; but sin is not charged when there is no law.
14 Yet death reigned from Adam until Moses, even in those who have not sinned, in the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a figure of him who was to come.
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 the gift is not entirely like the offense. For though by the offense of one, many died, yet much more so, by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, has the grace and gift of God abounded to many.
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 the sin through one is not entirely like the gift. For certainly, the judgment of one was unto condemnation, but the grace toward many offenses is unto justification.
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.
17 For though, by the one offense, death reigned through one, yet so much more so shall those who receive an abundance of grace, both of the gift and of justice, reign in life 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 Therefore, just as through the offense of one, all men fell under condemnation, so also through the justice of one, all men fall under justification 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 one man, many were established as sinners, so also through the obedience of one man, many shall be established as just.
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 Now the law entered in such a way that offenses would abound. But where offenses were abundant, grace was superabundant.
The law came in that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace abounded more exceedingly,
