罗马书 5
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
因信称义后所得的恩典
5 所以，我们既然因信称义，就借着我们的主耶稣基督与 神和好； 2 我们也凭着信，借着他可以进入现在所站的这恩典中，并且以盼望得享 神的荣耀为荣。 3 不但这样，我们更以患难为荣；知道患难产生忍耐， 4 忍耐产生毅力，毅力产生盼望； 5 盼望是不会令人蒙羞的，因为 神借着所赐给我们的圣灵，把他的爱浇灌在我们的心里。 6 当我们还软弱的时候，基督就照所定的日期，为不敬虔的人死了。 7 为义人死，是少有的；为好人死，或有敢作的； 8 唯有基督在我们还作罪人的时候为我们死， 神对我们的爱就在此显明了。 9 所以，我们现在既然因他的血称义，就更要借着他免受 神的忿怒。 10 我们作仇敌的时候，尚且借着 神儿子的死与他复和，既然复和了，就更要因他的生得救了！ 11 不但这样，我们现在已经借着我们的主耶稣基督与 神复和，也借着他以 神为荣。
亚当与基督的比较
12 正好象罪借着一个人入了世界，死又是从罪来的，所以死就临到所有人，因为所有人都犯了罪。 13 没有律法以前，罪已经在世界上了；不过，没有律法的时候，罪也不算罪。 14 可是，从亚当到摩西，死就掌权了，甚至那些不像亚当那样犯罪的人，也在死的权下；亚当正是要来的那一位的预表。
15 但恩赏和过犯是截然不同的；如果因着那一人的过犯，众人都死了， 神的恩典和这一人耶稣基督在恩典里的赏赐，对众人就更加丰盛了。 16 这赏赐和那一人犯罪的后果也是不同的；因为审判是由一人而来，以致定罪，恩赏却由许多过犯而来，以致称义。 17 如果因着那一人的过犯，死就因那一人而掌权，那些蒙丰富的恩典并且得公义为赏赐的，就更要因这一位耶稣基督在生命中掌权了。 18 这样看来，因一次的过犯，所有人都被定罪；照样，因一次的义行，所有人都被称义得生命了。 19 因着那一人的悖逆，众人就被列为罪人；照样，因着这一人的顺服，众人也被列为义人了。 20 律法的出现，是要叫过犯增多；然而罪在哪里增多，恩典就更加增多了。 21 罪借着死掌权；照样，恩典也借着义掌权，使人借着我们的主耶稣基督进入永生。

Results of Justification
5 Therefore, since we are justified by faith, we[a] have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Through him we have obtained access[b] to this grace in which we stand, and we[c] rejoice in our hope of sharing the glory of God. 3 More than that, we[d] rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, 4 and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, 5 and hope does not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit which has been given to us.
6 While we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 Why, one will hardly die for a righteous man—though perhaps for a good man one will dare even to die. 8 But God shows his love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us. 9 Since, therefore, we are now justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. 10 For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. 11 Not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received our reconciliation.
Adam and Christ
12 Therefore as sin came into the world through one man and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all men sinned— 13 sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law. 14 Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sins were not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come.
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 in the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many. 16 And the free gift is not like the effect of that one man’s sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift following many trespasses brings justification. 17 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 righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.
18 Then as one man’s trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one man’s act of righteousness leads to acquittal and life for all men. 19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by one man’s obedience many will be made righteous. 20 Law came in, to increase the trespass; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, 21 so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Contemporary English Version
What It Means To Be Acceptable to God
5 By faith we have been made acceptable to God. And now, thanks to our Lord Jesus Christ, we have peace[a] with God. 2 Christ has also introduced us[b] to God's gift of undeserved grace on which we now take our stand. So we are happy, as we look forward to sharing in the glory of God. 3 But that's not all! We gladly suffer,[c] because we know that suffering helps us to endure. 4 And endurance builds character, which gives us a hope 5 that will never disappoint us. All of this happens because God has given us the Holy Spirit, who fills our hearts with his love.
6 Christ died for us at a time when we were helpless and sinful. 7 No one is really willing to die for an honest person, though someone might be willing to die for a truly good person. 8 But God showed how much he loved us by having Christ die for us, even though we were sinful.
9 But there is more! Now that God has accepted us because Christ sacrificed his life's blood, we will also be kept safe from God's anger. 10 Even when we were God's enemies, he made peace with us, because his Son died for us. Yet something even greater than friendship is ours. Now that we are at peace with God, we will be saved by the life of his Son. 11 And in addition to everything else, we are happy because God sent our Lord Jesus Christ to make peace with us.
Adam and Christ
12 (A) Adam sinned, and that sin brought death into the world. Now everyone has sinned, and so everyone must die. 13 Sin was in the world before the Law came. But no record of sin was kept, because there was no Law. 14 Yet death still had power over all who lived from the time of Adam to the time of Moses. This happened, though not everyone disobeyed a direct command from God, as Adam did.
In some ways Adam is like Christ who came later. 15 But the gift of God's undeserved grace was very different from Adam's sin. That one sin brought death to many others. Yet in an even greater way, Jesus Christ alone brought God's gift of undeserved grace to many people.
16 There is a lot of difference between Adam's sin and God's gift. That one sin led to punishment. But God's gift made it possible for us to be acceptable to him, even though we have sinned many times. 17 Death ruled like a king because Adam had sinned. But that cannot compare with what Jesus Christ has done. God has treated us with undeserved grace, and he has accepted us because of Jesus. And so we will live and rule like kings.
18 (B) Everyone was going to be punished because Adam sinned. But because of the good thing that Christ has done, God accepts us and gives us the gift of life. 19 Adam disobeyed God and caused many others to be sinners. But Jesus obeyed him and will make many people acceptable to God.
20 The Law came, so that the full power of sin could be seen. Yet where sin was powerful, God's gift of undeserved grace was even more powerful. 21 Sin ruled by means of death. But God's gift of grace now rules, and God has accepted us because of Jesus Christ our Lord. This means that we will have eternal life.
