Romans 5
Results of Justification
1 aTherefore, having been justified by faith, ▼▼Two early mss let’s have
cwe have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2through whom we also have dobtained our introduction by faith into this grace ein which we stand; and ▼▼Lit we boast; or let’s
we celebrate in hope of the glory of God. 3 gAnd not only this, but ▼▼Lit we also boast; or let’s also boast
we also icelebrate in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about jperseverance; 4and kperseverance, lproven character; and proven character, hope; 5and 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. 7For one will hardly die for a righteous person; ▼▼Lit for
though perhaps for the good person someone would even dare to die. 8But God sdemonstrates tHis own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, uChrist died for us. 9Much more then, having now been justified ▼▼Or in
wby His blood, we shall be saved xfrom the wrath of God through Him. 10For 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, but ▼▼Lit also boasting
we also celebrate 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 mankind, because all sinned-- 13for ▼▼Or until law
until the Law sin was in the world, but aisin is not ▼▼Lit credited to
counted against anyone when there is no law. 14Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who had not sinned akin the likeness of the ▼▼I.e., of God’s command
violation committed by Adam, who is a ▼▼Or foreshadowing
antype of Him who was to come. 15 But ▼▼Lit not as the offense, so also is the gracious gift
the gracious gift is not like the offense. For if by the offense of apthe one aqthe many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by arthe grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many. 16The gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned; for on the one hand asthe judgment arose from one offense, ▼▼Lit to condemnation
resulting in condemnation, but on the other hand the gracious gift arose from many offenses, ▼▼Lit to an act of righteousness
resulting in justification. 17For if by the offense of the one, death reigned avthrough the one, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness awreign in life through the One, Jesus Christ. 18 So then, as through axone offense ▼▼Lit to condemnation
the result was condemnation to all mankind, so also through one azact of righteousness ▼▼Lit to justification
the result was bbjustification of life to all mankind. 19For as through the one man’s disobedience bcthe many bdwere made sinners, so also through bethe obedience of the One bfthe many will be made righteous. 20 ▼▼Or law
bhThe Law came in so that the offense would increase; but where sin increased, bigrace abounded all the more, 21so that, as bjsin reigned in death, so also bkgrace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
