Romans 5

¹Therefore being accepted as righteous through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;

²through whom also we have had admission into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in the hope of the glory which God will confer.

³And not only so, but we rejoice in afflictions also, knowing that affliction produceth endurance,

⁴and endurance proof [of faith], and proof [of faith giveth] hope;

⁵and hope will not disappoint us; because the love of God hath been shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit which hath been given to us.

⁶For while we were yet without strength, in due season Christ died for the ungodly.

⁷Now hardly for a righteous man will one die; perhaps, however, for a benefactor one might even dare to die.

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

⁹Much more then, being now accepted as righteous through his blood, we shall be saved through him from the [coming] wrath.

¹⁰For if while enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more having been reconciled shall we be saved by his life;

¹¹and not this only, but also having joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

¹²So then as through one man sin entered into the world, and through sin death, and thus [death] came through unto all men, because all sinned—

¹³(for all the time before the Law sin was in the world; but sin is not set to one’s account when there is no law.

¹⁴Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned in the manner in which Adam transgressed; who is a type of him who was to come.—

¹⁵But the free gift was not as the transgression. For if through the offence of the one the many died, much more hath the grace of God, and the gift which is by the grace of the one man Jesus Christ, abounded to the many.

¹⁶And the free gift is not like what happened through one man who sinned. For sentence of condemnation followed one offence; but the free gift is a justification after many offences.

¹⁷For if by one trespass death reigned through the one man, much more will they who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.)—

¹⁸As then through one trespass all men have come under condemnation, so through one act of righteousness all obtain the gift of righteousness unto life.

¹⁹For as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so through the obedience of the one man will the many be made righteous.

²⁰Moreover the law came in in addition, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace abounded much more;

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

Romans 5

¹Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

²By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

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

⁴And patience, experience; and experience, hope:

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

⁶For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

⁷For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.

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

⁹Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall 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, we shall be saved by his life.

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

¹²Wherefore, 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.

¹⁴Nevertheless 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.

¹⁵But 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.

¹⁶And 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.

¹⁷For 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.)

¹⁸Therefore 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.

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

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

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