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 wherein
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 Ghost which is given unto 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
peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
5:8 But God commendeth his love toward 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 offence, so also is the free gift. For if
through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace
of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus
Christ, hath abounded unto 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 offences unto justification.
5:17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more
they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of
righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
5:18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men
to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free
gift came upon all men unto 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 offence might abound. But
where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
5:21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign
through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our
Lord.
