5:1Justified, then, from faith, let us have peace towards God through our Lord Jesus Christ: through whom also we have access through faith into this grace, in which we stand, and glory in the hope of the glory of the sons of God. 5:3And not only that, but we glory also in tribulations: knowing that tribulation works patience: and patience proof, and proof hope, and hope does not put to shame: because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. 5:6For why did Christ, when we were still weak, according to the time, die for the impious?
5:7For scarcely does anyone die for a just man: for perhaps for a good man someone might dare to die. 5:8But God commends his love in us: since when we were still sinners, according to the time, Christ died for us: much more then, now justified in his blood, shall we be safe from anger through him. 5:10For if when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son: much more, having been reconciled, shall we be safe in his life. 5:11And not only so: but we glory too in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation. 5:12Therefore just as through one man sin entered into this world, and through sin death, and so death passed through into all men, in whom all have sinned.
5:13For up to the law sin was in the world: but sin was not imputed, when there was no law. 5:14But death reigned from Adam up to Moses even over those who did not sin in the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is the pattern of the one to come. 5:15But not as the offence, so also the gift: for if by the offence of one many have died: much more the grace of God and the gift in the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, has abounded unto more. 5:16And not as through one sin, so also the gift. 5:16For judgement indeed is from one unto condemnation: but grace from many offences unto justification.
5:17For if by the offence of one death reigned through one: much more those receiving abundance of grace, and of the gift, and of justice, will reign in life through one, Jesus Christ. 5:18Therefore just as through the offence of one it was unto all men unto condemnation: so also through the justice of one it is unto all men unto justification of life. 5:19For just as through the disobedience of one man, many were established as sinners: so also through the obedience of one, many will be established as just. 5:20But the law came in besides so that the offence might abound. 5:20But where the offence abounded, grace superabounded: so that just as sin reigned unto death: so also grace may reign through justice unto eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
