Romans 5

1Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;

1Therefore having been justified on the principle of faith, we have peace towardsGod through our Lord Jesus Christ;

2through 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.

2by whom we have also access by faith into this favour in which we stand, and we boast in hope of the glory ofGod.

3And not only so, but we also rejoice in our tribulations: knowing that tribulation worketh stedfastness;

3And not only [that], but we also boast in tribulations, knowing that tribulation works endurance;

4and stedfastness, approvedness; and approvedness, hope:

4and endurance, experience; and experience, hope;

5and hope putteth not to shame; because the love of God hath been shed abroad in our hearts through the Holy Spirit which was given unto us.

5and hope does not make ashamed, because the love ofGod is shed abroad in our hearts by [the] Holy Spirit which has been given to us:

6For while we were yet weak, in due season Christ died for the ungodly.

6for we being still without strength, in [the] due time Christ has died for [the] ungodly.

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

7For scarcely for [the] just [man] will one die, for perhaps for [the] good [man] some one might also dare to die;

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

8butGod commends his love to us, in that, we being still sinners, Christ has died for us.

9Much more then, being now justified by his blood, shall we be saved from the wrath of God through him.

9Much rather therefore, having been now justified in [the power of] his blood, we shall be saved by him from wrath.

10For 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;

10For if, being enemies, we have been reconciled toGod through the death of his Son, much rather, having been reconciled, we shall be saved in [the power of] his life.

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

11And not only [that], but [we are] making our boast inGod, through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom now we have received the reconciliation.

12Therefore, as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin; and so death passed unto all men, for that all sinned:—

12For this [cause], even as by one man sin entered into the world, and by sin death; and thus death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

13for until the law sin was in the world; but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

13(for until law sin was in [the] world; but sin is not put to account when there is no law;

14Nevertheless 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 that was to come.

14but death reigned from Adam until Moses, even upon those who had not sinned in the likeness of Adam's transgression, who is [the] figure of him to come.

15But 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 unto the many.

15But [shall] not the act of favour [be] as the offence? For if by the offence of one the many have died, much rather has the grace ofGod, and the free gift in grace, which [is] by the one man Jesus Christ, abounded unto the many.

16And not as through one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment came of one unto condemnation, but the free gift came of many trespasses unto justification.

16And [shall] not as by one that has sinned [be] the gift? For the judgment [was] of one to condemnation, but the act of favour, of many offences unto justification.

17For 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.

17For if by the offence of the one death reigned by the one, much rather shall those who receive the abundance of grace, and of the free gift of righteousness, reign in life by the one Jesus Christ:)

18So then as through one trespass the judgment came unto all men to condemnation; even so through one act of righteousness the free gift came unto all men to justification of life.

18so then as [it was] by one offence towards all men to condemnation, so by one righteousness towards all men for justification of life.

19For 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.

19For as indeed by the disobedience of the one man the many have been constituted sinners, so also by the obedience of the one the many will be constituted righteous.

20And the law came in besides, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace did abound more exceedingly:

20But law came in, in order that the offence might abound; but where sin abounded grace has overabounded,

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

21in order that, even as sin has reigned in [the power of] death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
