Romans 5

1Therefore, having been acquitted and declared not guilty, declared to be YITZDAK IM HASHEM#5:1 Job 25:4 on the yesod (basis) of our emunah (faith), we have shalom (peace) in relation to Hashem through Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua Adoneinu,
2Through whom also we have HaSha'ar laHashem#5:2 Ps 118:20 (gate to appoach G-dʼs presence, access of the Tzaddikim) by emunah into this unmerited Chen v'Chesed in which we stand and glory in tikvah of the kavod Eloheinu.
3Not only so, but we also glory in tzoros (troubles, afflictions), knowing that tzarah (trouble) produces savlanut (patience),
4Savlanut produces tested character and midos, and tested character and midos produce tikvah.
5And tikvah does not in the end lead to our being meyayesh (despairing) in disillusionment and bushah (shame),#5:5 Ps 25:3 because the Ahavas Hashem (G-dʼs love) has been poured out in our levavot through the Ruach Hakodesh given to us.
6For while we were still helpless, Moshiach died for the resha'im (the unrighteous persons, the wicked), doing so at the appointed time!#5:6 Dan 9:24-26
7For only rarely will someone die for a tzaddik (righteous man); though efsher (perhaps) it is conceivable that someone will dare to die for the tzaddik.
8But Hashem demonstrates His ahavah for us in that while we were still chote'im, Moshiach died for us.
9How much more then, having now been acquitted and pronounced to be YITZDAK IM HASHEM#5:9 Job 25:4 on the basis of the Moshiachʼs DAHM (blood) and sacrificial death,#5:9 Isa 53:11-12 how much more then shall we be delivered through him from the eschatological Charon Af Hashem (burning anger of G-d)!
10For if when we were [G-dʼs] oyevim (enemies), we were reconciled to Hashem through the histalkus (passing), the mavet#5:10 Isa 53:12; Dan 9:26 (death) of the Zun fun der Oybershter,#5:10 Moshiach how much more, having been reconciled and no longer oyevim, shall we be delivered by his#5:10 Techiyah (Resurrection) Chayyim!
11Not only so, but we also glory in Hashem though Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua Adoneinu, through whom we have now received the ritztzuy (reconciliation, cessation of enmity, hostility between a wrathful holy G-d and sinful men).
12Therefore, just as through one Adam (one man, humanity, Adam), Chet (Sin) entered into the Olam Hazeh and, through Chet (Sin), entered Mavet#5:12 Ro 1:32; Gn 2:16-17 (Death), and so Mavet passed through to kol Bnei Adam (all Mankind, all the sons of Adam), because all sinned.
13For before [the epoch of] the Torah (Law), Chet (Sin, Chet Kadmon, original sin) was in HaOlam (HaZeh, the world). But Chet (Sin) is not accounted, recorded#5:13 to make charges for death penalties in the absence of Gezetz.#5:13 i.e., no Law, no violation, death penalty
14Nevertheless, Mavet (Death) reigned supreme from (the epoch of) Adam until (the epoch of) Moshe Rabbeinu, even over those who did not sin in the very same manner of Adamʼs averah (transgression, disobedience, commandment rebelled against and recorded for death penalty) — that is, Adam who is a tipus (pattern, prophetic type), a demut he'atid (a future figure) of Hu HaBah#5:14 Isa 59:20; Job 19:25 (“He who comes,” Moshiach the Coming One, the Coming Go'el Redeemer).
15But the averah (transgression) was not like the effect of unmerited chesed (grace). For if by the averah of the one, the rabbim (many) died, how much more the unmerited Chen v'Chesed Hashem (grace of G-d) and the matnat hachesed (free gift of grace) of the Adam HaEchad (one Man) Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua have overflowed LARABBIM#5:15 Isa 53:11 (to the many).
16And the mattanah (free gift) is not like the effect of that one Adamʼs averah.#5:16 Gn 3:6 For the mishpat (judgment) is from one averah (transgression) to the gezar din (verdict) of ashem (guilty), to harsha'ah (condemnation as guilty); but the effect of the unmerited Chen v'Chesed Hashem is from averot rabbot (many transgressions) to zikkuy (acquittal), to that of being YITZDAK IM HASHEM#5:16 Job 25:4 (“justified with G-d,” i.e., acquittal, justification with Hashem of the Many).#5:16 Isa 53:11
17For if by the averah (transgression) of the one, Mavet (Death) reigned supreme through the one Adam, how much more those, who receive the abundance of unmerited Chen v'Chesed Hashem (grace) and of the Matnat HaTzedakah (the gift of righteousness), shall reign in life through the one Adam, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua.
18So, then, as through one Averah (transgression) [of Adam] to kol Bnei Adam to harsha'ah (condemnation as guilty), so also through one Mitzvah (righteous or worthy deed) [of Moshiach] to kol Bnei Adam to justification unto Chayei [Olam].
19For as through the disobedience of the one Adam, the many were made chote'im (sinners), so also through the mishma'at (obedience) of the one Adam,#5:19 Moshiach the many will be made tzaddikim (righteous ones).#5:19 Isa 53:11
20The [epoch of the] Gezetz came to increase the averah (transgression); but where Chet (Sin, Chet Kadmon) increased, unmerited Chen v'Chesed Hashem overflowed in abundance,
21In order that as Chet (Sin) reigned in Mavet (Death), so also Chesed might reign through Tzedek Olamim to Chayyei Olam through Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua Adoneinu.#5:21 Dan 9:24

Romans 5

Faith Brings Joy
1Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace#5:1 Some manuscripts read let us have peace. with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. 2Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory.
3We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. 4And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. 5And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.
6When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners. 7Now, most people would not be willing to die for an upright person, though someone might perhaps be willing to die for a person who is especially good. 8But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. 9And since we have been made right in God’s sight by the blood of Christ, he will certainly save us from God’s condemnation. 10For since our friendship with God was restored by the death of his Son while we were still his enemies, we will certainly be saved through the life of his Son. 11So now we can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God because our Lord Jesus Christ has made us friends of God.
Adam and Christ Contrasted
12When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned. 13Yes, people sinned even before the law was given. But it was not counted as sin because there was not yet any law to break. 14Still, everyone died—from the time of Adam to the time of Moses—even those who did not disobey an explicit commandment of God, as Adam did. Now Adam is a symbol, a representation of Christ, who was yet to come. 15But there is a great difference between Adam’s sin and God’s gracious gift. For the sin of this one man, Adam, brought death to many. But even greater is God’s wonderful grace and his gift of forgiveness to many through this other man, Jesus Christ. 16And the result of God’s gracious gift is very different from the result of that one man’s sin. For Adam’s sin led to condemnation, but God’s free gift leads to our being made right with God, even though we are guilty of many sins. 17For the sin of this one man, Adam, caused death to rule over many. But even greater is God’s wonderful grace and his gift of righteousness, for all who receive it will live in triumph over sin and death through this one man, Jesus Christ.
18Yes, Adam’s one sin brings condemnation for everyone, but Christ’s one act of righteousness brings a right relationship with God and new life for everyone. 19Because one person disobeyed God, many became sinners. But because one other person obeyed God, many will be made righteous.
20God’s law was given so that all people could see how sinful they were. But as people sinned more and more, God’s wonderful grace became more abundant. 21So just as sin ruled over all people and brought them to death, now God’s wonderful grace rules instead, giving us right standing with God and resulting in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
