5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God,
through our Lord Jesus Christ:
5:2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace in
which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
5:3 And not only [so], but we glory in tribulations also;
knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
5:4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
5:5 And hope maketh not ashamed, because the love of God is shed
abroad in our hearts, by the Holy Spirit which is given to us.
5:6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ
died for the ungodly.
5:7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet perhaps
for a good man some would even dare to die.
5:8 But God commendeth his love towards us, in that while we
were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall
be saved from wrath through him.
5:10 For if when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by
the death of his Son; much more, being reconciled, we shall be
saved by his life.
5:11 And not only [so], but we also joy in God, through our Lord
Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
5:12 Wherefore as by one man sin entered into the world, and
death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all
have sinned.
5:13 For until the law, sin was in the world: but sin is not
imputed when there is no law.
5:14 Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over
them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's
transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
5:15 But not as the offense, so also [is] the free gift. For if
through the offense of one many are dead, much more the grace
of God, and the gift by grace, [which is] by one man, Jesus
Christ, hath abounded to many.
5:16 And not as [it was] by one that sinned, [so is] the gift.
For the judgment [was] by one to condemnation, but the free
gift [is] of many offenses to justification.
5:17 For if by one man's offense death reigned by one; much more
they who receive abundance of grace, and of the gift of
righteousness, shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.
5:18 Therefore, as by the offense of one, [judgment came] upon
all men to condemnation, even so by the righteousness of one
[the free gift came] upon all men to justification of life.
5:19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so
by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
5:20 Moreover the law entered, that the offense might abound.
But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
5:21 That as sin hath reigned to death, even so might grace
reign through righteousness to eternal life, by Jesus Christ
our Lord.
