Мирът с Бога – основа за надеждата

(A)И така, оправдани чрез вяра, имаме мир с Бога чрез нашия Господ Исус Христос,

(B)посредством Когото ние чрез вяра придобихме и достъп до тази благодат, в която стоим и се радваме поради надеждата за Божията слава.

(C)И не само това, но нека се хвалим и в скърбите си, като знаем, че скръбта произвежда твърдост,

(D)а твърдостта – изпитана правда, а изпитаната правда – надежда.

(E)А надеждата не посрамва, защото Божията любов е изляна в сърцата ни чрез дадения ни Свят Дух.

(F)Понеже когато ние бяхме още немощни, на определеното време Христос умря за нечестивите.

Защото едва ли ще се намери някой да умре даже за праведен човек (при все че е възможно да дръзне някой да умре за добрия).

(G)Но Бог показва Своята любов към нас в това, че когато още бяхме грешници, Христос умря за нас.

(H)Затова много повече сега, като се оправдахме чрез Неговата кръв, ще се избавим от Божия гняв чрез Него.

10 (I)Защото ако бяхме примирени с Бога чрез смъртта на Неговия Син, когато бяхме неприятели, колко повече сега, като сме примирени, ще се избавим чрез Неговия живот!

11 (J)И не само това, но и се хвалим в Бога чрез нашия Господ Исус Христос, чрез Когото получихме сега това примирение.

Адам и Исус Христос

12 (K)Затова, както чрез един човек грехът влезе в света и чрез греха смъртта, и по този начин смъртта мина във всички човеци, понеже всички съгрешиха.

13 (L)Защото и преди закона грехът беше в света, обаче грях не се вменява, когато няма закон.

14 (M)Въпреки това от Адам до Моисей смъртта царува и над онези, които не бяха съгрешили според престъплението на Адам, който е образ на Бъдещия.

15 (N)Но дарът не е такъв, каквото беше прегрешението; защото ако поради прегрешението на единия измряха мнозината, то Божията благодат и дарът чрез благодатта на един Човек, Исус Христос, много повече се преумножи за мнозината.

16 И дарът не е такъв, какъвто беше съдът, чрез прегрешението на един; защото съдът доведе от един грях до осъждане, а дарът – от много прегрешения за оправдание.

17 (O)И ако поради прегрешението на един смъртта се възцари чрез него, единия, то много повече онези, които приемат изобилно благодатта и дара на оправданието, ще царуват в живота чрез Единия Исус Христос.

18 (P)И така както чрез едно прегрешение дойде осъждането на всички човеци, така и чрез едно праведно дело дойде на всички човеци оправданието, което докарва живот.

19 (Q)Защото както чрез непослушанието на един човек станаха грешни мнозината, така и чрез послушанието на Единия мнозината ще станат праведни.

20 (R)А отгоре на това дойде и законът, за да се умножи прегрешението; а където се умножи грехът, преумножи се благодатта;

21 така че както грехът беше царувал и докара смъртта, така да царува благодатта чрез правдата и да докара вечен живот чрез Исус Христос, нашия Господ.

We Are at Peace with God because of Jesus

Now that we have God’s approval by faith, we have peace with God because of what our Lord Jesus Christ has done. Through Christ we can approach God [a] and stand in his favor.[b] So we brag because of our confidence that we will receive glory from God. But that’s not all. We also brag when we are suffering. We know that suffering creates endurance, endurance creates character, and character creates confidence. We’re not ashamed to have this confidence, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

Look at it this way: At the right time, while we were still helpless, Christ died for ungodly people. Finding someone who would die for a godly person is rare. Maybe someone would have the courage to die for a good person. Christ died for us while we were still sinners. This demonstrates God’s love for us.

Since Christ’s blood has now given us God’s approval, we are even more certain that Christ will save us from God’s anger. 10 If the death of his Son restored our relationship with God while we were still his enemies, we are even more certain that, because of this restored relationship, the life of his Son will save us. 11 In addition, our Lord Jesus Christ lets us continue to brag about God. After all, it is through Christ that we now have this restored relationship with God.

A Comparison between Adam and Christ

12 Sin came into the world through one person, and death came through sin. So death spread to everyone, because everyone sinned. 13 Sin was in the world before there were any laws. But no record of sin can be kept when there are no laws. 14 Yet, death ruled from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin in the same way Adam did when he disobeyed. Adam is an image of the one who would come.

15 There is no comparison between ⌞God’s⌟ gift and ⌞Adam’s⌟ failure. If humanity died as the result of one person’s failure, it is certainly true that God’s kindness [c] and the gift given through the kindness of one person, Jesus Christ, have been showered on humanity.

16 There is also no comparison between ⌞God’s⌟ gift and the one who sinned. The verdict which followed one person’s failure condemned everyone. But, even after many failures, the gift brought God’s approval. 17 It is certain that death ruled because of one person’s failure. It’s even more certain that those who receive God’s overflowing kindness and the gift of his approval will rule in life because of one person, Jesus Christ.

18 Therefore, everyone was condemned through one failure, and everyone received God’s life-giving approval through one verdict. 19 Clearly, through one person’s disobedience humanity became sinful, and through one person’s obedience humanity will receive God’s approval. 20 The laws in Moses’ Teachings were added to increase the failure. But where sin increased, God’s kindness increased even more. 21 As sin ruled by bringing death, God’s kindness would rule by bringing us his approval. This results in our living forever because of Jesus Christ our Lord.

Footnotes

  1. 5:2 Some manuscripts read “we can approach God through faith.”
  2. 5:2 Or “grace.”
  3. 5:15 Or “grace.”

Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;

And patience, experience; and experience, hope:

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.

For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

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.

11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

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:

13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

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.

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.

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.

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.)

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.

19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:

21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
