Results of Justification

1 ^aTherefore, having been justified by faith, ^{▼▼ Two early mss read let us have
,} ^cwe have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom also we have ^dobtained our introduction by faith into this grace ^ein which we stand; and ^{▼▼ Or let us exult}we exult in hope of the glory of God. 3 ^gAnd not only this, but ^{▼▼ Or let us also exult}we also ⁱexult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about ^jperseverance; 4 and ^kperseverance, ^lproven character; and proven character, hope; 5 and hope ^mdoes not disappoint, because the love of God has been ⁿpoured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

6 For while we were still ^ohelpless, ^pat the right time ^qChrist died for the ungodly. 7 For one will hardly die for a righteous man; ^{▼▼ Lit for}though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die. 8 But God ^sdemonstrates ^tHis own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, ^uChrist died for us. 9 Much more then, having now been justified ^{▼▼ Or in
,} ^wby His blood, we shall be saved ^xfrom the wrath of God through Him. 10 For if while we were ^yenemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved ^{▼▼ Or in
,} ^aaby His life. 11 ^abAnd not only this, ^{▼▼ Lit but also exulting}but we also exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received ^adthe reconciliation.

12 Therefore, just as through ^aeone man sin entered into the world, and ^afdeath through sin, and ^agso death spread to all men, because all sinned— 13 for ^{▼▼ Or until law}until the Law sin was in the world, but ^aisin is not imputed when there is no law. 14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who had not sinned ^ajin the likeness of the offense of Adam, who is a ^{▼▼ Or foreshadowing
,} ^altype of Him who was to come.

15 But ^{▼▼ Lit not as the transgression, so also is the free gift}the free gift is not like the transgression. For if by the transgression of ^anthe one ^aothe many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by ^apthe grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many. 16 The gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned; for on the one hand ^aqthe judgment arose from one transgression ^{▼▼ Lit to condemnation}resulting in condemnation, but on the other hand the free gift arose from many transgressions ^{▼▼ Lit to an act of righteousness}resulting in justification. 17 For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned ^atthrough the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will ^aureign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.

18 So then as through ^avone transgression ^{▼▼ Lit to condemnation}there resulted condemnation to all men, even so through one ^axact of righteousness ^{▼▼ Lit to justification}there resulted ^azjustification of life to all men. 19 For as through the one man’s disobedience ^bathe many ^bbwere made sinners, even so through ^bcthe obedience of the One ^bdthe many will be made righteous. 20 ^{▼▼ Or law
,} ^bfThe Law came in so that the transgression would increase; but where sin increased, ^bggrace abounded all the more, 21 so that, as ^bhsin reigned in death, even so ^bigrace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
