Romans 5
5
1BEING justified therefore by faith, let us have peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ:
2By whom also we have access through faith into this grace, wherein we stand, and glory in the hope of the glory of the sons of God.
3And not only so; but we glory also in tribulations, knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
4And patience trial; and trial hope;
5And hope confoundeth not: because the charity of God is poured forth in our hearts, by the Holy Ghost, who is given to us.
6For why did Christ, when as yet we were weak, according to the time, die for the ungodly?
7For scarce for a just man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man some one would dare to die.
8But God commendeth his charity towards us; because when as yet we were sinners, according to the time,
9Christ died for us; much more therefore, being now justified by his blood, shall we be saved from wrath through him.
10For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son; much more, being reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.
11And not only so; but also we glory in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received reconciliation.
12Wherefore as by one man sin entered into this world, and by sin death; and so death passed upon all men, in whom all have sinned.
13For until the law sin was in the world; but sin was not imputed, when the law was not.
14But death reigned from Adam unto Moses, even over them also who have not sinned after the similitude of the transgression of Adam, who is a figure of him who was to come.
15But not as the offence, so also the gift. For if by the offence of one, many died; much more the grace of God, and the gift, by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
16And not as it was by one sin, so also is the gift. For judgment indeed was by one unto condemnation; but grace is of many offences, unto justification.
17For if by one man's offence death reigned through one; much more they who receive abundance of grace, and of the gift, and of justice, shall reign in life through one, Jesus Christ.
18Therefore, as by the offence of one, unto all men to condemnation; so also by the justice of one, unto all men to justification of life.
19For as by the disobedience of one man, many were made sinners; so also by the obedience of one, many shall be made just.
20Now the law entered in, that sin might abound. And where sin abounded, grace did more abound.
21That as sin hath reigned to death; so also grace might reign by justice unto life everlasting, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 5
5
Faith Triumphs in Trouble
1Therefore, #Is. 32:17; John 16:33having been justified by faith, we have #(Is. 53:5); Acts 10:36; (Eph. 2:14)peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2#(John 10:9; Eph. 2:18; 3:12; Heb. 10:19; 1 Pet. 3:18)through whom also we have access by faith into this grace #1 Cor. 15:1in which we stand, and #Heb. 3:6rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3And not only that, but #Matt. 5:11, 12; (John 16:33; Acts 5:41; 2 Cor. 12:9); James 1:2we also glory in tribulations, #James 1:3knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; 4#Phil. 2:22; (James 1:12)and perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5#Phil. 1:20Now hope does not disappoint, #2 Cor. 1:22; Eph. 1:13because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
Christ in Our Place
6For when we were still without strength, in due time #Is. 53:5; (Rom. 4:25; 5:8; 8:32; Gal. 2:20; Eph. 5:2)Christ died for the ungodly. 7For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. 8But #(John 3:16; 15:13; Rom. 8:39)God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9Much more then, having now been justified #Eph. 2:13; (1 John 1:7)by His blood, we shall be saved #Rom. 1:18; 1 Thess. 1:10from wrath through Him. 10For #(Rom. 8:32)if when we were enemies #Rom. 11:28; 2 Cor. 5:18; (Eph. 2:5, 6); Col. 1:21we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved #John 14:19by His life. 11And not only that, but we also #(Gal. 4:9)rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.
Death in Adam, Life in Christ
12Therefore, just as #Gen. 2:17; 3:6, 19; (Rom. 5:15–17; 1 Cor. 15:21)through one man sin entered the world, and #Gen. 2:17death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned— 13(For until the law sin was in the world, but #1 John 3:4sin is not imputed when there is no law. 14Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned according to the likeness of the transgression of Adam, #(1 Cor. 15:21, 22)who is a type of Him who was to come. 15But 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 #(Is. 53:11)to many. 16And 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. 17For 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.)
18Therefore, as through one man’s offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through #(1 Cor. 15:21, 45)one Man’s righteous act the free gift came #Matt. 1:21; (John 12:32)to all men, resulting in justification of life. 19For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by #Is. 53:11, 12; (Phil. 2:8)one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.
20Moreover #John 15:22the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace #Luke 7:47; Rom. 6:1; 1 Tim. 1:14abounded much more, 21so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
