Romanos 5
1 Iustificati ergo ex fide, pacem habeamus ad Deum per Dominum nostrum Iesum Christum:
Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
2 per quem habemus accessum per fidem in gratiam istam, in qua stamus, et gloriamur in spe gloriae filiorum Dei.
through whom we have had access, by faith, into this grace in which we stand; and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
3 Non solum autem, sed et gloriamur in tribulationibus: scientes quod tribulatio patientiam operatur:
And not only so, but we rejoice in afflictions also; because we know that affliction produces patience,
4 patientia autem probationem, probatio vero spem,
and patience, an approved character, and an approved character, hope;
5 spes autem non confundit: quia charitas Dei diffusa est in cordibus nostris per Spiritum sanctum, qui datus est nobis.
and this hope disappoints us not; because the love of God is poured abundantly into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that is given to us.
6 Ut quid enim Christus, cum adhuc infirmi essemus, secundum tempus pro impiis mortuus est?
For when we were yet without strength, at the appointed time, Christ died for the ungodly.
7 Vix enim pro iusto quis moritur: nam pro bono forsitan quis audeat mori.
For hardly, indeed, will one die for a just man; yet, perhaps, for the good man some one would even dare to die.
8 Commendat autem charitatem suam Deus in nobis: quoniam si cum adhuc peccatores essemus, secundum tempus,
But God makes known his love to us in this, that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us:
9 Christus pro nobis mortuus est: multo igitur magis nunc iustificati in sanguine ipsius, salvi erimus ab ira per ipsum.
much more, then, since we are now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from the wrath through him.
10 Si enim cum inimici essemus, reconciliati sumus Deo per mortem filii eius: multo magis reconciliati, salvi erimus in vita ipsius.
For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.
11 Non solum autem: sed et gloriamur in Deo per Dominum nostrum Iesum Christum, per quem nunc reconciliationem accepimus.
And not only so, but we rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the reconciliation.
12 Propterea sicut per unum hominem peccatum in hunc mundum intravit, et per peccatum mors, et ita in omnes homines mors pertransiit, in quo omnes peccaverunt:
For this reason, as by one man sin entered into the world, and by his sin, death; and so death passed through to all men, because all have sinned:
13 Usque ad legem enim peccatum erat in mundo: peccatum autem non imputabatur, cum lex non esset.
for till the law, sin was in the world; but sin is not charged where there is no law.
14 Sed regnavit mors ab Adam usque ad Moysen etiam in eos, qui non peccaverunt in similitudinem praevaricationis Adae, qui est forma futuri.
Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that did not sin in the likeness of Adam’s transgression, who is the type of him that was to come.
15 Sed non sicut delictum, ita et donum. si enim unius delicto multi mortui sunt: multo magis gratia Dei et donum in gratia unius hominis Iesu Christi in plures abundavit.
But the favor bestowed is not, in all respects, like the offense: for if, by the offense of one, the many have died, much more have the grace of God and the gift which is by the grace of the one man Jesus Christ, been made abundant for the many.
16 Et non sicut per unum peccatum, ita et donum. nam iudicium quidem ex uno in condemnationem: gratia autem ex multis delictis in iustificationem.
And the gift is not like the sentence that came through one who sinned: for the sentence to condemnation was because of one offense; but the favor bestowed in order to justification, is because of many offenses.
17 Si enim unius delicto mors regnavit per unum: multo magis abundantiam gratiae, et donationis, et iustitiae accipientes in vita, regnabunt per unum Iesum Christum.
For if, by one man’s offense, death has reigned through that one, much more shall those who receive the abundance of the grace, and of the gift of righteousness, reign in life through the one, who is Jesus Christ.
18 Igitur sicut per unius delictum in omnes homines in condemnationem: sic et per unius iustitiam in omnes homines in iustificationem vitae.
Therefore, as, by one offense, sentence came on all men to condemnation, so, also, by one act of righteousness, the gift has come on all men to justification of life.
19 Sicut enim per inobedientiam unius hominis, peccatores constituti sunt multi: ita et per unius obeditionem, iusti constituentur multi.
For as by the disobedience of the one man the many have been made sinners, so, also, by the obedience of the one, the many shall be made righteous.
20 Lex autem subintravit ut abundaret delictum. Ubi autem abundavit delictum, superabundavit et gratia.
But, besides the first offense, law was introduced, in order that offenses might abound: but where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
