Rom 5
1
Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus
Christ;
2
through whom also we have had our access by faith into this grace wherein we stand;
and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
3
And not only so, but we also rejoice in our tribulations: knowing that tribulation
works steadfastness;
4
and steadfastness, approvedness; and approvedness, hope:
5
and hope puts not to shame; because the love of God has been shed abroad in our hearts
through the Holy Spirit which was given to us.
6
For while we were yet weak, in due season Christ died for the ungodly.
7
For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: for peradventure for the good man some
one 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, shall we be saved from the anger
[of God] through him.
10
For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his
Son, much more, being reconciled, shall we be saved by his life;
11
and 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 through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin; and
so death passed to all men, for that all 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 until Moses, even over them that had not sinned
after the likeness of Adam`s transgression, who is a figure of him whom was to come.
15
But not as the trespass, so also [is] the free gift. 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
And not as through one that sinned, [so] is the gift: for the judgment [came] of 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; much more shall
they that receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in
life through the one, [even] Jesus Christ.
18
So then as through one trespass [the judgment came] to all men to condemnation; even
so through one act of righteousness [the free gift came] to all men to justification
of life.
19
For as through the one man`s disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through
the obedience of the one shall the many be made righteous.
20
And the law came in besides, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded,
grace did abound more exceedingly:
21
that, as sin reigned in death, even so might grace reign through righteousness to
eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
