5:1 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
5:2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.
5:3 Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance;
5:4 perseverance, character; and character, hope.
5:5 And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.
5:6 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.
5:7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die.
5:8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
5:9 Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him!
5:10 For if, when we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!
5:11 Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
5:12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned–
5:13 for before the law was given, sin was in the world. But sin is not taken into account when there is no law.
5:14 Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who was a pattern of the one to come.
5:15 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, overflow to the many!
5:16 Again, the gift of God is not like the result of the one man’s sin: The judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation, but the gift followed many trespasses and brought justification.
5:17 For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ.
5:18 Consequently, just as the result of one trespass was condemnation for all men, so also the result of one act of righteousness was justification that brings life for all men.
5:19 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.
5:20 The law was added so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more,
5:21 so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
5:1 Therefore having been justified out of faith, we have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
5:2 Through whom also we have obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand and boast because of the hope of the glory of God.
5:3 And not only so, but we also boast in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces endurance;
5:4 And endurance, approvedness; and approvedness, hope;
5:5 And hope does not put us to shame, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
5:6 For while we were yet weak, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
5:7 For scarcely for a righteous man will anyone die, though perhaps for the good man someone would even dare to die.
5:8 But God commends His own love to us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
5:9 Much more then, having now been justified in His blood, we will be saved through Him from the wrath.
5:10 For if we, being enemies, were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more we will be saved in His life, having been reconciled,
5:11 And not only so, but also boasting in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.
5:12 Therefore just as through one man sin entered into the world, and through sin, death; and thus death passed on to all men because all have sinned ?
5:13 For until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not charged to one s account when there is no law.
5:14 But death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who had not sinned after the likeness of Adam s transgression, who is a type of Him who was to come.
5:15 But it is not that as the offense was, so also the gracious gift is; for if by the offense of the one the many died, much more the grace of God and the free gift in grace of the one man Jesus Christ have abounded to the many.
5:16 And it is not that as through one who sinned, so also the free gift is; for the judgment was out of one offense unto condemnation, but the gracious gift is out of many offenses unto justification.
5:17 For if, by the offense of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.
5:18 So then as it was through one offense unto condemnation to all men, so also it was through one righteous act unto justification of life to all men.
5:19 For just as through the disobedience of one man the many were constituted sinners, so also through the obedience of the One the many will be constituted righteous.
5:20 And the law entered in alongside that the offense might abound; but where sin abounded, grace has superabounded,
5:21 In order that just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness unto eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
