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

¶ Justified therefore by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus, the Christ,

2 t hrough whom we also have our access by faith into this grace in which we stand. We rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

by whom we also have access by faith into this grace in which we stand and glory in hope of the glory of the sons of God.

3 N ot only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces perseverance;

And not only this, but we even glory in the tribulations, knowing that the tribulation works patience;

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

and patience, experience; and experience, hope;

5 a nd 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.

and the hope shall not be ashamed, because the love of God is poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit which is given unto us.

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

¶ For the Christ, when we were yet weak, in his time died for the ungodly.

7 F or one will hardly die for a righteous man. Yet perhaps for a righteous person 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 commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

But God increased the price of his charity toward us in that while we were yet sinners the Christ died for us.

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

Then much more now justified in his blood, we shall be saved from wrath by him.

10 F or 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.

For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled with God by the death of his Son, much more, now reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

11 N ot only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

And not only this, but we even glory in God through our Lord Jesus, the Christ, by whom we have now received the reconciliation.

12 T herefore as sin entered into the world through one man, and death through sin; and so death passed to all men, because all sinned.

Therefore, in the manner which sin entered into the world by one man, and because of sin, death; and so death passed upon all men in the one in whom all sinned.

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

For until the law, sin was in the world; but the sin was not imputed, there being no law.

14 N evertheless 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.

Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even in those that did not sin after the manner of the rebellion of Adam, who is a figure of him that was to come.

15 B ut 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.

But not as the offense, so also is the gift. For if through the offense of that one many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of one man, Jesus the Christ, has abounded unto many.

16 T he 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.

Nor was it in the same manner as by one sin, likewise also the gift; for the judgment truly came of one sin unto condemnation, but grace came of many offenses unto justification.

17 F or 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.

For if by one offense, death reigned because of one man; much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of gifts and of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus the Christ.

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

Therefore, in the same manner that by the iniquity of one guilt came upon all men unto condemnation, even so by the righteousness of one, grace came upon all men unto justification of life.

19 F or as through the one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the one, 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 T he law came in besides, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace abounded more exceedingly;

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

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

so that in the same manner as sin has reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus, the Christ, our Lord.
