Chapter 5 (CV)
1 Being, then, justified by faith, we may be having
peace toward God, through our Lord, Jesus Christ,
2 through Whom we have the access also, by faith, into
this grace in which we stand, and we may be glorying in expectation of the glory of God.
3 Yet not only so, but we may be glorying also in
afflictions, having perceived that affliction is producing endurance,
4 yet endurance testedness, yet testedness expectation.
5 Now expectation is not mortifying, seeing that the love
of God has been poured out in our hearts through the holy spirit which is being given to
us.
6 For Christ, while we are still infirm, still in accord
with the era, for the sake of the irreverent, died.
7 For hardly for the sake of a just man will anyone be
dying: for, for the sake of a good man, perhaps someone may even be daring to die,
8 yet God is commending this love of His to us, seeing
that, while we are still sinners, Christ died for our sakes.
9 Much rather, then, being now justified in His blood, we
shall be saved from indignation, through Him.
10 For if, being enemies, we were conciliated to God
through the death of His Son, much rather, being conciliated, we shall be saved in His
life.
11 Yet not only so, but we are glorying also in God,
through our Lord, Jesus Christ, through Whom we now obtained the conciliation.
12 Therefore, even as through one man sin entered into
the world, and through sin death, and thus death passed through into all mankind, on which
all sinned --
13 for until law sin was in the world, yet sin is not
being taken into account when there is no law;
14 nevertheless death reigns from Adam unto Moses, over
those also who do not sin in the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of
Him Who is about to be.
15 But not as the offense, thus also the grace. For if,
by the offense of the one, the many died, much rather the grace of God and the gratuity in
grace, which is of the One Man, Jesus Christ, to the many superabounds.
16 And not as through one act of sinning is the gratuity.
For, indeed, the judgment is out of one into condemnation, yet the grace is out of many
offenses into a just award.
17 For if, by the offense of the one, death reigns
through the one, much rather, those obtaining the superabundance of grace and the gratuity
of righteousness shall be reigning in life through the One, Jesus Christ.
18 Consequently, then, as it was through one offense for
all mankind for condemnation, thus also it is through one just award for all mankind for
life's justifying.
19 For even as, through the disobedience of the one man,
the many were constituted sinners, thus also, through the obedience of the One, the many
shall be constituted just.
20 Yet law came in by the way, that the offense should be
increasing. Yet where sin increases, grace superexceeds,
21 that, even as Sin reigns in death, thus Grace also
should be reigning through righteousness, for life eonian, through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Chapter 5 (KJV)
1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace
with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace
wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also:
knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is
shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time
Christ died for the ungodly.
7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet
peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
8 But God commendeth his 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
shall be saved from wrath through him.
10 For 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.
11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our
Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
12 Wherefore, 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. 14 Nevertheless 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.
15 But 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.
16 And 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.
17 For 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.)
18 Therefore 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. 19 For as by one man's
disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made
righteous.
20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might
abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might
grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. |
