ローマ人への手紙 5

神との間の平和
5 ですから、信仰によって神の目に正しい者とされた私たちは、主イエス・キリストによって、神との間に平和を得ています。 2 信仰のゆえに、キリストは私たちを、いま立っている、この最高の特権ある立場に導いてくださいました。そして私たちは、私たちに対する神の計画がすべて実現するのを、喜びをもって待ち望んでいるのです。 3 ですから私たちは、さまざまの苦しみや困難に直面した時も喜ぶことができます。それによって忍耐を学ぶからです。 4 忍耐によって私たちの品性が磨かれ、さらに、それによって希望が与えられるのです。こうして、私たちの希望と信仰は強められ、どんなことにも動じなくなるのです。 5 この希望は失望に終わることはありません。それは、神が聖霊を与えてくださり、その聖霊が私たちの心に神の愛を満たしてくださっているからです。
6 私たちが逃れる道もなく、行き詰まっていた時、キリストはおいでになり、何のとりえもない、私たち罪人のために死んでくださいました。 7 たとえ私たちが良い人間であったとしても、だれかが自分のために死んでくれるなどとは考えてもみなかったでしょう。 8 しかし、私たちがまだ罪人であった時、神はキリストを遣わしてくださいました。そのキリストが私たちのために死なれたことにより、神は私たちに大きな愛を示してくださったのです。 9 キリストは、罪人のために血まで流してくださったのですから、私たちが無罪とされた今は、もっとすばらしいことをしてくださるに違いありません。今やキリストは、神の怒りから、私たちを完全に救い出してくださるのです。
10 私たちが神の敵であった時でさえ、ひとり子の死によって、神のもとに連れ戻されたくらいですから、私たちが神の友となり、神が私たちのうちに生きておられる今は、どんなにかすばらしい祝福が備えられていることでしょう。 11 私たちは、神との驚くべき新しい関係を心から喜んでいます。それはただ、主イエス・キリストが私たちの罪のために死んで成し遂げてくださったこと、すなわち、私たちを神の友としてくださったことのおかげなのです。
アダムの罪とキリストの救い
12 アダムが罪を犯した時、罪が世界に入り込みました。アダムの罪によって死が全人類に広まり、すべての人は死ぬように定められました。それというのも、すべての人が罪を犯したからです。 13 これらの原因がアダムの罪にあることを、私たちは知っています。アダムからモーセまでの時代にも人々は罪を犯しましたが、神はそのころ、罪を犯したからといって、彼らに死刑を宣告したりはなさいませんでした。神はまだ、彼らに律法を与えておらず、また、彼らにどんなことを望んでおられるか告げてもいなかったからです。 14 そういうわけで、彼らの肉体の死はアダムの罪によるもので、彼らの罪のせいではありませんでした。アダムは人類を代表するという意味で、やがて来られるキリストの原型ですが、両者はなんと対照的でしょう。
15 人間の罪と神の赦しとの間には、なんと大きな違いがあることでしょう。アダム一人の罪によって多くの人に死がもたらされました。しかし、イエス・キリスト一人によって、多くの人に赦しがもたらされたのです。 16 つまりアダムの一つの罪が、多くの人に死の罰をもたらしました。一方、キリストは、無償で多くの罪を取り除き、その代わりにすばらしいいのちを下さるのです。 17 アダム一人の罪により、死はすべての人を支配するようになりましたが、神から、罪の赦しと無罪放免という無償の贈り物をいただく人はみな、イエス・キリスト一人によって、いのちに支配されるようになります。 18 アダムの罪はすべての人に刑罰をもたらしましたが、キリストの義は、人々を神の前に正しい者とするのです。それで、人々は生きることができるのです。 19 神に従わなかったアダムは多くの人を罪人にしましたが、神に従ったキリストは、多くの人を神に受け入れられる者としてくださいました。
20 律法が与えられてから、すべての人は、自分がいかに神のおきてに従えない存在か、よくわかるようになりました。しかし、私たちは、自分の罪深さを知れば知るほど、赦してくださる神の満ちあふれる恵みが、いっそうわかるようになるのです。 21 以前は、罪がすべての人を支配し、死に導きました。しかし今では、恵みが私たちを支配するようになり、主イエス・キリストによって、私たちに神の前での正しい身分を与え、永遠のいのちへと導くのです。
Romans 5

Peace and Hope
5 Therefore, since we have been justified(A) through faith,(B) we[a] have peace(C) with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,(D) 2 through whom we have gained access(E) by faith into this grace in which we now stand.(F) And we[b] boast in the hope(G) of the glory of God. 3 Not only so, but we[c] also glory in our sufferings,(H) because we know that suffering produces perseverance;(I) 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 And hope(J) does not put us to shame, because God’s love(K) has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit,(L) who has been given to us.
6 You see, at just the right time,(M) when we were still powerless,(N) Christ died for the ungodly.(O) 7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.(P)
9 Since we have now been justified(Q) by his blood,(R) how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath(S) through him! 10 For if, while we were God’s enemies,(T) we were reconciled(U) to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!(V) 11 Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.(W)
Death Through Adam, Life Through Christ
12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man,(X) and death through sin,(Y) and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned(Z)—
13 To be sure, sin was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not charged against anyone’s account where there is no law.(AA) 14 Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam,(AB) who is a pattern of the one to come.(AC)
15 But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man,(AD) how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ,(AE) overflow to the many! 16 Nor can the gift of God be compared with the result of one man’s sin: The judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation, but the gift followed many trespasses and brought justification. 17 For if, by the trespass of the one man, death(AF) reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life(AG) through the one man, Jesus Christ!
18 Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people,(AH) so also one righteous act resulted in justification(AI) and life(AJ) for all people. 19 For just as through the disobedience of the one man(AK) the many were made sinners,(AL) so also through the obedience(AM) of the one man the many will be made righteous.
20 The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase.(AN) But where sin increased, grace increased all the more,(AO) 21 so that, just as sin reigned in death,(AP) so also grace(AQ) might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life(AR) through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Faith Triumphs in Trouble
5 Therefore, (A)having been justified by faith, [a]we have (B)peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 (C)through whom also we have access by faith into this grace (D)in which we stand, and (E)rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only that, but (F)we also glory in tribulations, (G)knowing that tribulation produces [b]perseverance; 4 (H)and perseverance, [c]character; and character, hope. 5 (I)Now hope does not disappoint, (J)because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
Christ in Our Place
6 For when we were still without strength, [d]in due time (K)Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. 8 But (L)God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, having now been justified (M)by His blood, we shall be saved (N)from wrath through Him. 10 For (O)if when we were enemies (P)we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved (Q)by His life. 11 And not only that, but we also (R)rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.
Death in Adam, Life in Christ(S)
12 Therefore, just as (T)through one man sin entered the world, and (U)death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned— 13 (For until the law sin was in the world, but (V)sin is not imputed when there is no law. 14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned according to the likeness of the transgression of Adam, (W)who is a type of Him who was to come. 15 But the free gift is not like the [e]offense. For if by the one man’s offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded (X)to many. 16 And the gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned. For the judgment which came from one offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift which came from many [f]offenses resulted in justification. 17 For if by the one man’s [g]offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)
18 Therefore, as through [h]one man’s offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through (Y)one[i] Man’s righteous act the free gift came (Z)to all men, resulting in justification of life. 19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by (AA)one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.
20 Moreover (AB)the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace (AC)abounded much more, 21 so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 5
King James Version
5 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
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.
6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
9 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.
