Romans 5
Open in the reader1Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord He-Who-Is-Saves The-Anointed-One,
2through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.
3Not only that, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance;
4perseverance, character; and character, hope.
5And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts through the Devoted Spirit, whom He has given us.
6For at just the right time, while we were still powerless, The-Anointed-One died for the ungodly.
7Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die.
8But God proves His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, The-Anointed-One died for us.
9Therefore, since we have now been justified by His blood, how much more shall we be saved from wrath through Him!
10For if, when we were enemies of God, we were reconciled to Him through the death of His Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through His life!
11Not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord He-Who-Is-Saves The-Anointed-One, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
12Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, so also death was passed on to all men, because all sinned.
13For sin was in the world before the teaching was given; but sin is not taken into account when there is no teaching.
14Nevertheless, death reigned from Ground until Drawn-Out, even over those who did not sin in the way that Ground transgressed. He is a pattern of the One to come.
15But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, He-Who-Is-Saves The-Anointed-One, abound to the many!
16Again, the gift is not like the result of the one man’s sin: The judgment that followed one sin brought condemnation, but the gift that followed many trespasses brought justification.
17For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, He-Who-Is-Saves The-Anointed-One!
18So then, just as one trespass brought condemnation for all men, so also one act of righteousness brought justification and life for all men.
19For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.
20The teaching came in so that the trespass would increase; but where sin increased, grace increased all the more,
21so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through He-Who-Is-Saves The-Anointed-One our Lord.
