| 1 Having, therefore, been declared righteous by faith, let us have, peace, towards God, through our Lord Jesus Christ,– |
|
| 2 Through whom also we have had, our introduction, [by our faith] into this favour wherein we stand; and let us boast in hope of the glory of God. |
|
| 3 And, not only so, but let us boast also in our tribulations; knowing that, our tribulation, worketh out endurance. |
|
| 4 And, our endurance, a testing, and, our testing, hope, |
|
| 5 And, our hope, putteth not to shame. Because, the love of God, hath been poured out in our hearts, through the Holy Spirit that hath been given unto us: |
|
| |
|
| 6 Seeing that, Christ, we being weak as yet, seasonably, in behalf of such as were ungodly, died. |
|
| 7 For, scarcely in behalf of a righteous man, will one die,–in behalf of the good man indeed, peradventure one even dareth to die; |
|
| 8 But God commendeth his own love unto us in that–we as yet being sinners, Christ in our behalf died. |
|
| 9 Much more, then, having now been declared righteous by his blood, shall we be saved through him from the anger. |
|
| 10 For, if being enemies we were reconciled unto God through the death of his Son, much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. |
|
| 11 And, not only, so, but are even boasting in God, through our Lord Jesus [Christ],–through whom, now, the reconciliation we have received. |
|
| 12 For this cause,–just as, through one man, sin into the world entered, and through sin, death,–and, so, unto all men death passed through, for that all had sinned;– |
|
| 13 For, until law, sin was in the world, although sin is not reckoned when there is no law,– |
|
| 14 Yet still, death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over them who had not sinned after the likeness of the transgression of Adam,–who is a type of the Coming One;– |
|
| 15 But, not as the fault, so, [also] the decree of favour, for, if, by the fault of the one, the many died, much more, the favour of God and the free-gift in favour, by the one man Jesus Christ, unto the many superabounded; |
|
| 16 And, not as through one that sinned, is that which is freely given, for, the sentence of judgment, indeed, was–out of one [fault] into condemnation, whereas, the decree of favour, is–out of many faults, into a recovery of righteousness. |
|
| 17 For, if, by the fault of the one, death reigned through the one, much more, they who the superabundance of the favour and of [the free-gift of] the righteousness do receive, in life, shall reign through the one, Jesus Christ. |
|
| 18 Hence then, as through one fault, [the sentence was] unto all men unto condemnation, so, also, through one recovery of righteousness, [the decree of favour] is unto all men for righteous acquittal unto life; |
|
| 19 For, just as, through the disobedience of the one man, sinners, the many were constituted, so, also, through the obedience of the one, righteous, the many shall be constituted– |
|
| 20 Law, however, gained admission, in order that the fault might abound, but, where the sin abounded, the favour greatly superabounded: |
|
| 21 In order that–just as sin reigned in death, so, also, favour, might reign through righteousness unto life age-abiding, through Jesus Christ our Lord. |
