1 T herefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

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

2 B y whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

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 A nd not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;

Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces perseverance;

4 A nd patience, experience; and experience, hope:

and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope:

5 A nd hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

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 F or when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

For while we were yet weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.

7 F or scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.

For one will hardly die for a righteous man. Yet perhaps for a righteous person someone would even dare to die.

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

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

9 M uch more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we will be saved from God’s wrath through him.

10 F or 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.

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 A nd not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

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

12 W herefore, 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:

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 imputed when there is no law.

For until the law, sin was in the world; but sin is not charged when there is no law.

14 N evertheless 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.

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 B ut 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.

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 A nd 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.

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 F or 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.)

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 T herefore 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.

So then as through one trespass, all men were condemned; even so through one act of righteousness, all men were justified to life.

19 F or as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

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 M oreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:

The law came in besides, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace abounded more exceedingly;

21 T hat as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

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