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, 2 through 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; 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 person; ^{▼▼Lit for}though perhaps for the good person someone would even dare to die. 8 But God ^sdemonstrates ^tHis own love toward us, in that while we were still 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, 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-- 13 for ^{▼▼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. 14 Nevertheless 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. 16 The 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. 17 For 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. 19 For 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, 21 so that, as ^bjsin reigned in death, so also ^bkgrace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
