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.

Faith Triumphs
1Therefore, since we have been justified by faith,#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.#Rm 5:11 2We have also obtained access through him#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,#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,#Rm 5:11; 8:23; 9:10; 2Co 8:19 but we also boast in our afflictions,#Mt 5:12; Jms 1:2–3 because we know that affliction produces endurance,#Lk 21:19 4endurance produces proven character,#Php 2:22; Jms 1:12 and proven character produces hope. 5This hope will not disappoint us,#Ps 119:116; Rm 9:33; Heb 6:18–20 because God’s love has been poured out in our hearts#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,#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#Rm 3:5 his own love for us#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,#Rm 3:25 will we be saved through him from wrath.#Rm 1:18; 1Th 1:10 10For if, while we were enemies,#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.#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.#Rm 11:15; 2Co 5:18–20
Death through Adam and Life through Christ
12Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man,#Gn 2:17; 3:6,19; 1Co 15:21 and death through sin,#Rm 6:23; 1Co 15:56; Jms 1:15 in this way death spread to all people,#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.#Rm 4:15 14Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who did not sin in the likeness of Adam’s transgression.#Hs 6:7 He is a type of the Coming One.#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#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,#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#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#Rm 4:25 for everyone. 19For just as through one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners,#Rm 11:32 so also through the one man’s obedience#Php 2:8 the many will be made righteous. 20The law came along to multiply the trespass.#Rm 3:20; 7:7; Gl 3:19 But where sin multiplied, grace multiplied even more#Rm 6:1; 1Tm 1:14 21so that, just as sin reigned in death,#Rm 5:12,14 so also grace will reign#Jn 1:17; Rm 6:23 through righteousness, resulting in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
