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

Having been declared righteous, then, by faith, we have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

2 t hrough whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God.

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

3 A nd not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance;

And not only, but we also boast in the tribulations, knowing that the tribulation doth work endurance;

4 a nd perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope;

and the endurance, experience; and the experience, hope;

5 a nd hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

and the hope doth not make ashamed, because the love of God hath been poured forth in our hearts through the Holy Spirit that hath been given to us.

6 F or while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.

For in our being still ailing, Christ in due time did die for the impious;

7 F or one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die.

for scarcely for a righteous man will any one die, for for the good man perhaps some one also doth dare to die;

8 B ut God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

and God doth commend His own love to us, that, in our being still sinners, Christ did die for us;

9 M uch more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him.

much more, then, having been declared righteous now in his blood, we shall be saved through him from the wrath;

10 F or if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.

for if, being enemies, we have been reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved in his life.

11 A nd not only this, but we also exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

And not only, but we are also boasting in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom now we did receive the reconciliation;

12 T herefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned—

because of this, even as through one man the sin did enter into the world, and through the sin the death; and thus to all men the death did pass through, for that all did sin;

13 f or until the Law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

for till law sin was in the world: and sin is not reckoned when there is not law;

14 N evertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who had not sinned in the likeness of the offense of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come.

but the death did reign from Adam till Moses, even upon those not having sinned in the likeness of Adam's transgression, who is a type of him who is coming.

15 B ut the free gift is not like the transgression. For if by the transgression 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.

But, not as the offence so also the free gift; for if by the offence of the one the many did die, much more did the grace of God, and the free gift in grace of the one man Jesus Christ, abound to the many;

16 T he gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned; for on the one hand the judgment arose from one transgression resulting in condemnation, but on the other hand the free gift arose from many transgressions resulting in justification.

and not as through one who did sin the free gift, for the judgment indeed of one to condemnation, but the gift of many offences to a declaration of `Righteous,'

17 F or if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.

for if by the offence of the one the death did reign through the one, much more those, who the abundance of the grace and of the free gift of the righteousness are receiving, in life shall reign through the one -- Jesus Christ.

18 S o then as through one transgression there resulted condemnation to all men, even so through one act of righteousness there resulted justification of life to all men.

So, then, as through one offence to all men to condemnation, so also through one declaration of `Righteous' to all men to justification of life;

19 F or as through the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the One the many will be made righteous.

for as through the disobedience of the one man, the many were constituted sinners: so also through the obedience of the one, shall the many be constituted righteous.

20 T he Law came in so that the transgression would increase; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more,

And law came in, that the offence might abound, and where the sin did abound, the grace did overabound,

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

that even as the sin did reign in the death, so also the grace may reign, through righteousness, to life age-during, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
