Romans 5

Therefore, having been justified by faith, let us have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

through whom we also have access by this faith into this grace in which we stand, and we boast on the basis of hope of the glory of God. \*

And not only this, but we also boast in our sufferings, knowing that this suffering produces endurance;

and this endurance, character; and this character, hope.

And that hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, the one given to us. \*

For we still being weak, yet at the right time Christ died on behalf of ungodly ones.

For someone will hardly die on behalf of a righteous {person}. Perhaps, though, someone might even dare to die on behalf of the good {person}. \*

But God demonstrates his own love toward us, in that, we still being sinners, Christ died for us.

Much more then, having now been justified by his blood, we will be saved through him from the wrath. \*

For if, being enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, having been reconciled, will we be saved by his life.

Not only this, but we also are boasting in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we now have received the reconciliation. \*

For this reason, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and through sin, death, so also death spread to all men, because of which all sinned.

For until law, sin was in the world, but sin is not charged, {there} being no law. \*

Nevertheless, death ruled from Adam until Moses, even over the ones not having sinned in the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a pattern of the one coming.

But not like the trespass, so also {is} the gracious gift. For if by the trespass of the one the many died, how much more did the grace of God and the gift by grace that {is} of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many! \*

And the gift {is} not as through one who sinned. For indeed, the judgment from one, to condemnation, but the gracious gift from many trespasses, to justification.

For if, by the trespass of the one, death ruled through the one, how much more will the ones receiving the abundance of the grace and the gift of the righteousness rule in life through the one, Jesus Christ. \*

So then, as through one trespass to all men {led} to condemnation, so also through one righteous act to all men {led} to justification of life.

For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one will the many be made righteous ones. \*

Now the law slipped in so that the trespass might increase. But where the sin increased, the grace abounded even more

so that just as sin ruled in death, so also grace might rule through righteousness to everlasting life through Jesus Christ our Lord. \*
