5 : 1 Therefore, since we have been justified by faith,wehave peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
5 : 2 Through him we have alsoobtained access by faithinto this gracein which we stand, andwerejoicein hope of the glory of God.
5 : 3 Not only that, but werejoice in our sufferings, knowing that sufferingproduces endurance,
5 : 4 and endurance produces character, and character produces hope,
5 : 5 andhope does not put us to shame, because God's lovehas been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
5 : 6 Forwhile we were still weak, at the right timeChrist died for the ungodly.
5 : 7 For one will scarcely die for a righteous person&emdash;though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die&emdash;
5 : 8 butGod shows his love for us in thatwhile we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
5 : 9 Since, therefore,we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him fromthe wrath of God.
5 : 10 For ifwhile we were enemieswe were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved byhis life.
5 : 11 More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now receivedreconciliation.
5 : 12 Therefore, just assin came into the world through one man, anddeath through sin, andso death spread to all menbecauseall sinned&emdash;
5 : 13 for sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, butsin is not counted where there is no law.
5 : 14 Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sinning was notlike the transgression of Adam,who was a type ofthe one who was to come.
5 : 15 But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man's trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded formany.
5 : 16 And the free gift is not like the result of that one man's sin. Forthe judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift following many trespasses broughtjustification.
5 : 17 For if, because of one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousnessreign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.
5 : 18 Therefore, as one trespassled to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousnessleads to justification and life forall men.
5 : 19 For as by the one man'sdisobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man'sobedience the many will be made righteous.
5 : 20 Nowthe law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased,grace abounded all the more,
5 : 21 so that,as sin reigned in death,grace also might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
