Reconciliation with God through Faith in Christ
1 Therefore, because we#*Here “because” is supplied as a component of the participle (“have been declared righteous”) which is understood as causal have been declared righteous by faith, we have#Although a number of important manuscripts read the subjunctive mood here (“let us have”), almost all English versions prefer the indicative mood (“we have”) which is supported by many other manuscripts peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2through whom also we have obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we boast in the hope of the glory of God. 3And not only this, but we also boast in our afflictions, because we#*Here “because” is supplied as a component of the participle (“know”) which is understood as causal know that affliction produces patient endurance, 4and patient endurance, proven character, and proven character, hope, 5and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
6For while#*Here “while” is supplied as a component of the participle (“were”) which is understood as temporal we were still helpless, yet at the proper time Christ died for the ungodly. 7For only rarely will someone die on behalf of a righteous person (for on behalf of a good person possibly someone might even dare to die), 8but God demonstrates his own love for us, in that while#*Here “while” is supplied as a component of the participle (“were”) which is understood as temporal we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9Therefore, by much more, because we#*Here “because” is supplied as a component of the participle (“have been declared righteous”) which is understood as causal have been declared righteous now by his blood, we will be saved through him from the wrath. 10For if, while we#*Here “while” is supplied as a component of the participle (“were”) which is understood as temporal were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, by much more, having been reconciled, we will be saved by his life. 11And not only this, but also we are boasting in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.
Death Came through Adam but Life Comes through Christ
12Because of this, just as sin entered into the world through one man, and death through sin, so also death spread to all people because all sinned. 13For until the law, sin was in the world, but sin is not charged to one’s account when there#*Here “when” is supplied as a component of the participle (“is”) which is understood as temporal is no law. 14But death reigned from Adam until Moses even over those who did not sin in the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of the one who is to come. 15But the gift is not like the trespass#Literally “but not like the trespass so also the gift”, for if by the trespass of the one, the many died, by much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, multiply to the many. 16And the gift is not as through the one who sinned, for on the one hand, judgment from the one sin led to condemnation, but the gift, from many trespasses, led to justification. 17For if by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through the one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Jesus Christ. 18Consequently therefore, as through one trespass came condemnation to all people, so also through one righteous deed came justification of life to all people. 19For just as through the disobedience of the one man, the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one, the many will be made righteous. 20Now the law came in as a side issue, in order that the trespass could increase, but where sin increased, grace was present in greater abundance, 21so that just as sin reigned in death, so also grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

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.
