Romans 5

¹Therefore, having been justified by faith, let us be at peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ.

²For 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.

³And not only that, but we also find glory in tribulation, knowing that tribulation exercises patience,

⁴and patience leads to proving, yet truly proving leads to hope,

⁵but 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.

⁶Yet why did Christ, while we were still infirm, at the proper time, suffer death for the impious?

⁷Now 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.

⁸But God demonstrates his love for us in that, while we were yet sinners, at the proper time,

⁹Christ died for us. Therefore, having been justified now by his blood, all the more so shall we be saved from wrath through him.

¹⁰For 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.

¹¹And not only that, but we also glory in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

¹²Therefore, 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.

¹³For even before the law, sin was in the world, but sin was not imputed while the law did not exist.

¹⁴Yet 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.

¹⁵But 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.

¹⁶And 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.

¹⁷For 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.

¹⁸Therefore, 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.

¹⁹For, 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.

²⁰Now the law entered in such a way that offenses would abound. But where offenses were abundant, grace was superabundant.

²¹So then, just as sin has reigned unto death, so also may grace reign through justice unto eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 5

¹Being justified therefore by faith, let us have peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ:

²By whom also we have access through faith into this grace wherein we stand: and glory in the hope of the glory of the sons of God.

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

⁴And patience trial; and trial hope;

⁵And hope confoundeth not: because the charity of God is poured forth in our hearts, by the Holy Ghost who is given to us.

⁶For why did Christ, when as yet we were weak, according to the time, die for the ungodly?

⁷For scarce for a just man will one die: yet perhaps for a good man some one would dare to die.

⁸But God commendeth his charity towards us: because when as yet we were sinners according to the time.

⁹Christ died for us. Much more therefore, being now justified by his blood, shall we be saved from wrath through him.

¹⁰For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son: much more, being reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.

¹¹And not only so: but also we glory in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received reconciliation.

¹²Wherefore as by one man sin entered into this world and by sin death: and so death passed upon all men, in whom all have sinned.

¹³For until the law sin was in the world: but sin was not imputed, when the law was not.

¹⁴But death reigned from Adam unto Moses, even over them also who have not sinned, after the similitude of the transgression of Adam, who is a figure of him who was to come.

¹⁵But not as the offence, so also the gift. For if by the offence of one, many died: much more the grace of God and the gift, by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

¹⁶And not as it was by one sin, so also is the gift. For judgment indeed was by one unto condemnation: but grace is of many offences unto justification.

¹⁷For if by one man's offence death reigned through one; much more they who receive abundance of grace and of the gift and of justice shall reign in life through one, Jesus Christ.

¹⁸Therefore, as by the offence of one, unto all men to condemnation: so also by the justice of one, unto all men to justification of life.

¹⁹For as by the disobedience of one man, many were made sinners: so also by the obedience of one, many shall be made just.

²⁰Now the law entered in that sin might abound. And where sin abounded, grace did more abound.

²¹That as sin hath reigned to death: so also grace might reign by justice unto life everlasting, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
