< previous ROMANS - CHAPTER FIVE next >
1 Being therefore justified by faith, we have
peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ; 2 through whom we also have
our access by faith into this grace in which we stand. We rejoice in hope of
the glory of God. 3 Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings,
knowing that suffering produces perseverance; 4 and perseverance, proven
character; and proven character, hope: 5 and hope doesn’t disappoint us,
because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit
who was given to us. 6 For while we were yet weak, at the right time
Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For one will hardly die for a righteous
man. Yet perhaps for a good person someone would even dare to die. 8 But
God commends his own 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 will be saved from God’s wrath through him. 10 For if, while we
were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much
more, being reconciled, we will be saved by his life.
11 Not only so, but we also rejoice in God
through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the
reconciliation. 12 Therefore as sin entered into the world through one
man, and death through sin; and so death passed to all men, because all sinned.
13 For until the law, sin was in the world; but sin is not charged when
there is no law. 14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even
over those whose sins weren’t like Adam’s disobedience, who is a foreshadowing
of him who was to come. 15 But the free gift isn’t like the trespass. For
if by the trespass of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God,
and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many. 16 The
gift is not as through one who sinned: for the judgment came by one to
condemnation, but the free gift came of many trespasses to justification. 17 For
if by the trespass of the one, death reigned through the one; so much more will
those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign
in life through the one, Jesus Christ. 18 So then as through one trespass,
all men were condemned; even so through one act of righteousness, all men were
justified to life. 19 For as through the one man’s disobedience many were
made sinners, even so through the obedience of the one, many will be made
righteous. 20 The law came in later, that the trespass might abound; but
where sin abounded, grace abounded more exceedingly; 21 that as sin
reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal
life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
