1 T herefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
2 t hrough whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
3 A nd not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance;
And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
4 a nd perseverance, character; and character, hope.
And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
5 N ow hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us. Christ in Our Place
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 F or when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
7 F or scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die.
For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
8 B ut God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
9 M uch more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.
Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
10 F or if when 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, 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 A nd not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation. Death in Adam, Life in Christ
And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
12 T herefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned—
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.
(For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
14 N evertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned according to the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come.
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 B ut the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the one man’s offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many.
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 A nd the gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned. For the judgment which came from one offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift which came from many offenses resulted in justification.
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 F or if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)
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 T herefore, as through one man’s offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man’s righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life.
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 F or as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.
For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
20 M oreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more,
Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
21 s o that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
