Romans 5

1 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

2 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 that, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance;

4 perseverance, character; and character, hope.

5 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 at the right time, while we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.

7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die.

8 But God proves His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

9 Therefore, since we have now been justified by His blood, how much more shall we be saved from wrath through Him!

10 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 that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

12 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 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 who did not sin in the way that Adam transgressed. He is a pattern of the One to come.

15 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 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 man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!

18 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 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 so that the trespass would increase; but where sin increased, grace increased all the more,

21 so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

1 ¶ Therefore being 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.

3 And not only [so], but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;

4 And patience, experience; and experience, 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.

6 ¶ For when we were yet without strength, in due 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.

8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

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.

11 And not only [so], but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

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:

13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed 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.

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.

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.

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.)

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.

19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:

21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

1 Forasmuch then as we have been 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 boast of the hope of the glory to come, which God shall give.

3 Not only so, but we also glory in tribulation, knowing that tribulation bringeth patience.

4 But patience bringeth experience, and experience bringeth hope,

5 But hope maketh not ashamed. For the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

6 For Christ also, when we were yet weak after the time, died for us that were ungodly.

7 Now scarcely any die for the sake of righteousness; for the sake of some good perhaps some may die.

8 Therefore praise God for his love toward us, that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.

9 So shall we ever more be kept from wrath through him, having been justified by his blood.

10 For if we have been reconciled to God by the death of his Son, while we were yet enemies, much more shall we be saved by his life, if we have now been reconciled.

11 Not only this, but we also glory in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have received the atonement.

12 Therefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, because they were all sinners;

13 For sin was in the world until the law: but where there is no law, there is no respect of sin,

14 But death reigned from Adam even unto Moses, even over them that sinned not with the like transgression as Adam, which is the image of him that was to come.

15 But the gift is not as the sin. For if many died in one sin, much more the grace and gift of God abounded to many through the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ.

16 And the gift is not for one sin only, as through one sinner's sin all things perish. For the sentence is from one sin unto condemnation: but the gift is also from many sins unto righteousness.

17 For if death reigned through one for the sin of one, much more shall they that receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through one, Jesus Christ:)

18 As therefore by one man's sin came condemnation upon all men, even so by one man's righteousness came justification of life upon all men.

19 For as by one man's disobedience many sinners were made, so also by one man's obedience many righteous are made.

20 But the law came in beside, that sin might be made more powerful. But where sin was made mighty, grace was made much mightier,

21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so may grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
