Romans 5
5
Right With God
1We have been made right with God because of our faith. So we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. 2Through our faith, Christ has brought us into that blessing of God’s grace that we now enjoy. And we are very happy because of the hope we have of sharing God’s glory. 3And we are also happy with the troubles we have. Why are we happy with troubles? Because we know that these troubles make us more patient. 4And this patience is proof that we are strong. And this proof gives us hope. 5And this hope will never disappoint us. We know this because God has poured out his love to fill our hearts through the Holy Spirit he gave us.
6Christ died for us when we were unable to help ourselves. We were living against God, but at just the right time Christ died for us. 7Very few people will die to save the life of someone else, even if it is for a good person. Someone might be willing to die for an especially good person. 8But Christ died for us while we were still sinners, and by this God showed how much he loves us.
9We have been made right with God by the blood sacrifice of Christ. So through Christ we will surely be saved from God’s anger. 10I mean that while we were God’s enemies, he made friends with us through his Son’s death. And the fact that we are now God’s friends makes it even more certain that he will save us through his Son’s life. 11And not only will we be saved, but we also rejoice right now in what God has done for us through our Lord Jesus Christ. It is because of Jesus that we are now God’s friends.
Adam and Christ
12Sin came into the world because of what one man did. And with sin came death. So this is why all people must die—because all people have sinned. 13Sin was in the world before the Law of Moses. But God does not consider people guilty of sin if there is no law. 14But from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, everyone had to die. Adam died because he sinned by not obeying God’s command. But even those who did not sin that same way had to die.
That one man, Adam, can be compared to Christ, the one who was coming in the future. 15But God’s free gift is not like Adam’s sin. Many people died because of the sin of that one man. But the grace that people received from God was much greater. Many received God’s gift of life by the grace of this other man, Jesus Christ. 16After Adam sinned once, he was judged guilty. But the gift of God is different. His free gift came after many sins, and it makes people right with him. 17One man sinned, and so death ruled all people because of that one man. But now some people accept God’s full grace and his great gift of being made right. Surely they will have true life and rule through the one man, Jesus Christ.
18So that one sin of Adam brought the punishment of death to all people. But in the same way, Christ did something so good that it makes all people right with God. And that brings them true life. 19One man disobeyed God and many became sinners. But in the same way, one man obeyed God and many will be made right. 20The law was brought in so that more people would sin the way Adam did. But where sin increased, there was even more of God’s grace. 21Sin once used death to rule us. But God gave us more of his grace so that grace could rule by making us right with him. And this brings us eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romiyim (Romans) 5
5
1Therefore, having been declared right by belief, we have peace with Elohim through our Master יהושע Messiah,
2through whom also we have access by belief into this favour in which we stand, and we exult in the expectation of the esteem of Elohim.
3And not only this, but we also exult in pressures, knowing that pressure works endurance;
4and endurance, approvedness; and approvedness, expectation.
5And expectation does not disappoint, because the love of Elohim has been poured out in our hearts by the Set-apart Spirit which was given to us.
6For when we were still weak, Messiah in due time died for the wicked.
7For one shall hardly die for a righteous one, though possibly for a good one someone would even have the courage to die.
8But Elohim proves His own love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Messiah died for us.
9Much more then, having now been declared right by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.
10For if, being enemies, we were restored to favour with Elohim through the death of His Son, much more, having been restored to favour, we shall be saved by His life.
11And not only this, but we also exult in Elohim through our Master יהושע Messiah, through whom we have now received the restoration to favour.
12For this reason, even as through one man sin did enter into the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned –
13for until the Torah, sin was in the world, but sin is not reckoned when there is no Torah.
14But death reigned from Aḏam until Mosheh, even over those who had not sinned according to the likeness of the transgression of Aḏam, who is a type of Him who was to come.
15But the favourable gift is not like the trespass. For if by the one man’s trespass many died, much more the favour of Elohim, and the gift in favour of the one Man, יהושע Messiah, overflowed to many.
16And the favourable gift is not as by one having sinned. For indeed the judgment was of one to condemnation, but the favourable gift is of many trespasses unto righteousness.
17For if by the trespass of the one, death did reign through the one, much more those who receive the overflowing favour and the gift of righteousness shall reign in life through the One, יהושע Messiah.
18So then, as through one trespass there resulted condemnation to all men, so also through one righteous act there resulted righteous-declaring of life to all men.
19For as through the disobedience of one man many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the One many shall be made righteous.
20And the Torah came in beside, so that the trespass would increase. But where sin increased, favour increased still more,
21so that as sin did reign in death, even so favour might reign through righteousness to everlasting life through יהושע Messiah our Master.
