Paz e alegria

Sendo, pois, declarados justos pela fé, temos paz com Deus, por causa daquilo que o nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo fez por nós. Pois em razão da nossa fé, temos direito a esta graça, e em confiança nos regozijamos pelo dia em que partilharemos da glória de Deus.

E também nos regozijamos nas tribulações, porque sabemos que nos ensinam a persistência. Depois a persistência fortalece-nos o carácter e ajuda-nos para que a nossa esperança se torne forte. E nessa esperança não ficaremos desiludidos, pois sentimos o amor de Deus nos nossos corações pelo Espírito Santo, que ele nos deu.

Quando nos encontrávamos sem possibilidades de sair da situação de pecadores culpados, Cristo veio, no momento oportuno, e morreu por nós, pecadores. Mesmo que fôssemos justos, poderia acontecer que talvez alguém viesse a morrer por nós; não é vulgar que alguém morra por uma pessoa boa. Mas Deus prova o seu amor para connosco em que Cristo morreu por nós, sendo nós ainda pecadores. E visto que pelo sangue de Cristo fomos declarados justos aos seus olhos, quanto mais não fará ele agora em nosso favor, salvando-nos da ira divina que há de vir. 10 E se, quando éramos inimigos de Deus, fomos reconciliados com Deus pela morte de seu Filho, quanto mais, tendo sido reconciliados com ele, seremos salvos do castigo eterno pela sua vida. 11 E agora alegramo-nos intensamente na relação que Deus estabeleceu connosco. Tudo por causa daquilo que o nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo fez, morrendo pelos nossos pecados e reconciliando-nos com Deus.

Adão e Cristo

12 Quando Adão pecou, o pecado transmitiu-se a toda a raça humana e trouxe, como consequência, a morte a todos; e todos foram contados como pecadores. 13 Contudo, desde Adão até Moisés, e embora naturalmente as pessoas pecassem, o pecado não era tido em conta, justamente porque Deus ainda não lhes tinha dado a sua Lei. 14 Assim essas pessoas morreram em consequência do pecado desde o tempo de Adão até ao de Moisés, ainda que não tivessem desobedecido a uma determinada lei de Deus tal como Adão, o qual é uma figura em contraste com Cristo, que ainda haveria de vir!

15 Há uma grande diferença entre a transgressão do homem e a dádiva de Deus! Um só homem, Adão, trouxe a morte a muitos, por causa da sua transgressão. Mas muito mais foi dado a muita gente pela abundância da graça de Deus e do dom que vem da graça, por intermédio de um só homem, Jesus Cristo. 16 E o resultado da oferta graciosa de Deus é muito diferente do resultado do pecado daquele único homem. Porque o julgamento de um só pecado de Adão trouxe a condenação, enquanto o dom gratuito de Deus nos dá a justificação de muitas transgressões. 17 A transgressão de um só homem, Adão, fez com que a morte dominasse toda a natureza humana, mas todos os que receberam a maravilhosa graça e a justificação de Deus terão, agora, o domínio da vida, através do ato também de um só, Jesus Cristo.

18 É verdade que a transgressão de Adão trouxe a todos o castigo, mas a justiça de Deus tornou possível que os homens se tornem justos perante Deus, para que possam viver. 19 Adão, porque desobedeceu a Deus, fez com que muitos se tornassem pecadores, mas Cristo, porque lhe obedeceu, fez que muitos também fossem considerados justos por Deus.

20 A Lei foi dada para aumentar a quantidade de transgressões. Mas se o nosso pecado é grande, muito maior e mais abundante é a graça de Deus que nos perdoa. 21 Antes, o pecado governava sem limites todos os homens, levando-os à morte; mas agora é a misericórdia de Deus, que não merecíamos, que governa, colocando-nos numa posição de justiça perante Deus e de acesso à vida eterna por Jesus Cristo nosso Senhor.

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.

Faith Triumphs in Trouble

Therefore, (A)having been justified by faith, [a]we have (B)peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, (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. And not only that, but (F)we also glory in tribulations, (G)knowing that tribulation produces [b]perseverance; (H)and perseverance, [c]character; and character, hope. (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

For when we were still without strength, [d]in due time (K)Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But (L)God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 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.

与上帝和好

我们既然因信而被称为义人,就借着我们的主耶稣基督与上帝和好了。 我们又靠着祂,借着信进入现在所站的这恩典中,欢欢喜喜地盼望分享上帝的荣耀。 不但如此,我们在苦难中也欢喜,因为知道苦难使人生忍耐, 忍耐生品格,品格生盼望。 这种盼望不会落空,因为上帝的爱借着所赐给我们的圣灵已倾注在我们心中。

当我们还软弱无助的时候,基督就在所定的日期为罪人死了。 为义人死,是罕见的;为好人死,也许有敢做的; 但基督却在我们还做罪人的时候为我们死!上帝的爱就这样显明了。

现在,我们既然因祂所流的血而被称为义人,岂不更要靠着祂免受上帝的烈怒吗? 10 如果我们还与上帝为敌的时候,尚且可以借着上帝儿子的死亡与上帝和好,和好后的我们岂不更要借着祂儿子的生命得到拯救吗? 11 不但如此,我们借着主耶稣基督与上帝和好之后,还要借着祂在上帝面前欢喜。

亚当与基督

12 因此,罪怎样从一个人进入世界并带来了死亡,死亡也怎样临到了全人类,因为全人类都犯了罪。 13 没有律法之前,罪已经在世上了;但没有律法,罪也不算为罪。 14 事实上,从亚当到摩西的时代,死亡一直辖制着人类,甚至连那些不与亚当犯同样罪的人也不能幸免。亚当是将要来的那位的预表。

15 然而,上帝的洪恩远超过亚当的过犯。若因一人的过犯,众人都要死亡,那么上帝的恩典,也就是通过耶稣基督一人所赐的恩典,岂不要更丰富地临到众人吗? 16 再者,上帝的恩赐不同于一人犯罪的后果。一人犯罪便带来审判和定罪,恩赐却使众人罪恶得赦、被称为义人。 17 如果因一人的过犯,死亡就借着那人做了王,那么接受上帝洪恩又得到祂所赐之义的人,岂不更要借着耶稣基督一人在生命中做王吗?

18 如此说来,因为一人的过犯,众人都被定罪;照样,因为一人的义行,众人都被称为义人,得到生命。 19 因为一人的悖逆,众人成为罪人;照样,因为一人的顺服,众人将被称为义人。 20 律法是后来颁布的,使过犯更多地显出来,只是哪里的罪越多,哪里的恩典就显得越丰富。 21 罪怎样掌权带来死亡[a],恩典也照样借着义掌权,为要借着我们主耶稣基督带来永生。
