Faith Triumphs
1Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, # 5:1 Rm 3:28 we have peace # 5:1 Other mss read faith, let us have peace, which can also be translated faith, let us grasp the fact that we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. # 5:1 Rm 5:11 2We have also obtained access through him # 5:2 Eph 2:18; 3:12; Heb 10:19–20; 1Pt 3:18 by faith # 5:2 Other mss omit by faith into this grace in which we stand, # 5:2 1Co 15:1 and we boast # 5:2 Or rejoice, also in vv. 3,11 in the hope of the glory of God. 3And not only that, # 5:3 Rm 5:11; 8:23; 9:10; 2Co 8:19 but we also boast in our afflictions, # 5:3 Mt 5:12; Jms 1:2–3 because we know that affliction produces endurance, # 5:3 Lk 21:19 4endurance produces proven character, # 5:4 Php 2:22; Jms 1:12 and proven character produces hope. 5This hope will not disappoint us, # 5:5 Ps 119:116; Rm 9:33; Heb 6:18–20 because God’s love has been poured out in our hearts # 5:5 Ac 2:33; 10:45; Gl 4:6; Ti 3:6 through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
The Justified Are Reconciled
6For while we were still helpless, at the right time, # 5:6 Gl 4:4 Christ died for the ungodly. 7For rarely will someone die for a just person — though for a good person perhaps someone might even dare to die. 8But God proves # 5:8 Rm 3:5 his own love for us # 5:8 Jn 3:16; 15:13; Rm 8:39 in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9How much more then, since we have now been justified by his blood, # 5:9 Rm 3:25 will we be saved through him from wrath. # 5:9 Rm 1:18; 1Th 1:10 10For if, while we were enemies, # 5:10 Rm 11:28; 2Co 5:18–20; Eph 2:3; Col 1:21 we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, then how much more, having been reconciled, will we be saved by his life. # 5:10 Rm 8:34; Heb 7:25 11And not only that, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received this reconciliation. # 5:11 Rm 11:15; 2Co 5:18–20
Death through Adam and Life through Christ
12Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, # 5:12 Gn 2:17; 3:6,19; 1Co 15:21 and death through sin, # 5:12 Rm 6:23; 1Co 15:56; Jms 1:15 in this way death spread to all people, # 5:12 Rm 5:19,21; 1Co 15:22 because all sinned. # 5:12 Or have sinned 13In fact, sin was in the world before the law, but sin is not charged to a person’s account when there is no law. # 5:13 Rm 4:15 14Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who did not sin in the likeness of Adam’s transgression. # 5:14 Hs 6:7 He is a type of the Coming One. # 5:14 1Co 15:45
15But the gift is not like the trespass. For if by the one man’s trespass the many died, how much more have the grace of God and the gift which comes through the grace of the one man # 5:15 Ac 15:11 Jesus Christ overflowed to the many. 16And the gift is not like the one man’s sin, because from one sin came the judgment, # 5:16 1Co 11:32 resulting in condemnation, but from many trespasses came the gift, resulting in justification. # 5:16 Or acquittal 17If by the one man’s trespass, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive the overflow of grace and the gift of righteousness reign in life # 5:17 2Tm 2:12; Rv 22:5 through the one man, Jesus Christ.
18So then, as through one trespass there is condemnation for everyone, so also through one righteous act there is justification leading to life # 5:18 Rm 4:25 for everyone. 19For just as through one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, # 5:19 Rm 11:32 so also through the one man’s obedience # 5:19 Php 2:8 the many will be made righteous. 20The law came along to multiply the trespass. # 5:20 Rm 3:20; 7:7; Gl 3:19 But where sin multiplied, grace multiplied even more # 5:20 Rm 6:1; 1Tm 1:14 21so that, just as sin reigned in death, # 5:21 Rm 5:12,14 so also grace will reign # 5:21 Jn 1:17; Rm 6:23 through righteousness, resulting in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

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
