Romans 5
1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
Since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
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 And not only [so], but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings. We know that suffering produces endurance.
4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
Endurance produces character, and character produces certain hope,
5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
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 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.
7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
For one will hardly die for a righteous man. That is, perhaps someone would dare to die for a good person.
8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
But God proves his own love toward us, because while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
Much more, then, now that we are justified by his blood, we will be saved by it from the wrath of God.
10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
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 And not only [so], but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
Not only this, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we now have received this reconciliation.
12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
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 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
For until the law, sin was in the world, but there is no accounting for sin when there is no law.
14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
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 But not as the offence, so also [is] the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, [which is] by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
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 And not as [it was] by one that sinned, [so is] the gift: for the judgment [was] by one to condemnation, but the free gift [is] of many offences unto justification.
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 For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
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 Therefore as by the offence of one [judgment came] upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one [the free gift came] upon all men unto justification of life.
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 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
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 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
But the law came in to increase the trespass. But where sin abounded, grace abounded even more.
21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. (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)
