Romans 5
Common English Bible
Therefore, we have peace with God
5 Therefore, since we have been made righteous through his faithfulness,[a] we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 We have access by faith into this grace in which we stand through him, and we boast in the hope of God’s glory. 3 But not only that! We even take pride in our problems, because we know that trouble produces endurance, 4 endurance produces character, and character produces hope. 5 This hope doesn’t put us to shame, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
6 While we were still weak, at the right moment, Christ died for ungodly people. 7 It isn’t often that someone will die for a righteous person, though maybe someone might dare to die for a good person. 8 But God shows his love for us, because while we were still sinners Christ died for us. 9 So, now that we have been made righteous by his blood, we can be even more certain that we will be saved from God’s wrath through him. 10 If we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son while we were still enemies, now that we have been reconciled, how much more certain is it that we will be saved by his life? 11 And not only that: we even take pride in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, the one through whom we now have a restored relationship with God.
Grace now rules
12 Just as through one human being sin came into the world, and death came through sin, so death has come to everyone, since everyone has sinned. 13 Although sin was in the world, since there was no Law, it wasn’t taken into account until the Law came. 14 But death ruled from Adam until Moses, even over those who didn’t sin in the same way Adam did—Adam was a type of the one who was coming.
15 But the free gift of Christ isn’t like Adam’s failure. If many people died through what one person did wrong, God’s grace is multiplied even more for many people with the gift—of the one person Jesus Christ—that comes through grace. 16 The gift isn’t like the consequences of one person’s sin. The judgment that came from one person’s sin led to punishment, but the free gift that came out of many failures led to the verdict of acquittal. 17 If death ruled because of one person’s failure, those who receive the multiplied grace and the gift of righteousness will even more certainly rule in life through the one person Jesus Christ.
18 So now the righteous requirements necessary for life are met for everyone through the righteous act of one person, just as judgment fell on everyone through the failure of one person. 19 Many people were made righteous through the obedience of one person, just as many people were made sinners through the disobedience of one person. 20 The Law stepped in to amplify the failure, but where sin increased, grace multiplied even more. 21 The result is that grace will rule through God’s righteousness, leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord, just as sin ruled in death.

5 Therefore oun, since we are justified dikaioō by ek faith pistis, we have echō peace eirēnē with pros · ho God theos through dia · ho our hēmeis Lord kyrios Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos, 2 through dia whom hos we have echō also kai obtained echō · ho access prosagōgē by ho faith pistis into eis · ho this houtos grace charis in en which hos we stand histēmi, and kai we rejoice kauchaomai in epi hope elpis of sharing the ho glory doxa of ho God theos. 3 And de not ou only monon that, but alla we also kai rejoice kauchaomai in en our ho sufferings thlipsis, knowing oida that hoti · ho suffering thlipsis produces katergazomai endurance hypomonē, 4 · ho and de endurance hypomonē produces character dokimē, · ho and de character dokimē produces hope elpis, 5 · ho and de hope elpis does not ou disappoint kataischunō us, because hoti the ho love agapē of ho God theos has been poured ekchunnomai out into en · ho our hēmeis hearts kardia through dia the Holy hagios Spirit pneuma who ho was given didōmi to us hēmeis. 6 For gar while eti we hēmeis were eimi still eti helpless asthenēs, at kata the right kairos time Christ Christos died apothnēskō for hyper the ungodly asebēs. 7 For gar rarely molis will apothnēskō one tis die apothnēskō for hyper an upright dikaios person — though gar perhaps tacha for hyper · ho a genuinely good agathos person one tis · kai might actually dare tolmaō to die apothnēskō. 8 But de God theos demonstrates synistēmi · ho his heautou love agapē for eis us hēmeis · ho in that hoti while eimi we hēmeis were eimi still eti sinners hamartōlos Christ Christos died apothnēskō for hyper us hēmeis. 9 Since oun we have now nyn been justified dikaioō by en · ho his autos blood haima, much polys more mallon will we be saved sōzō from apo the ho wrath orgē of God through dia him autos. 10 For gar if ei while we were eimi enemies echthros we were reconciled katallassō to ho God theos through dia the ho death thanatos of ho his autos Son hyios, much polys more mallon, now that we are reconciled katallassō, will we be saved sōzō by en · ho his autos life zōē. 11 And de not ou only monon that, but alla we also kai rejoice kauchaomai in en · ho God theos through dia · ho our hēmeis Lord kyrios Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos, through dia whom hos we lambanō now nyn have received lambanō · ho reconciliation katallagē.
12 Therefore dia houtos, just hōsper as sin hamartia came eiserchomai into eis the ho world kosmos through dia one heis man anthrōpos, · ho and kai death thanatos through dia · ho sin hamartia, · ho and kai so houtōs death thanatos spread dierchomai to eis all pas men anthrōpos, · ho because epi hos all pas have sinned hamartanō—. 13 For gar sin hamartia was eimi in en the world kosmos before achri the law nomos was given, but de sin hamartia is not ou charged ellogeō when there is eimi no mē law nomos. 14 Nevertheless alla death thanatos reigned basileuō · ho from apo Adam Adam until mechri Moses Mōysēs, even kai over epi those ho whose sinning hamartanō was not mē like epi ho · ho the ho transgression parabasis of Adam Adam, who hos was eimi a type typos of the ho coming mellō one . 15 But alla the ho free gift charisma is not ou like hōs the ho transgression paraptōma. · kai For gar if ei the ho many polys died apothnēskō through the ho transgression paraptōma of the ho one heis, much polys more mallon did perisseuō the ho grace charis of ho God theos and kai the ho gift dōrea that came by en the grace charis · ho of the ho one heis man anthrōpos Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos overflow perisseuō to eis the ho many polys. 16 And kai the ho gift dōrēma is not ou like hōs the result dia of that one heis man’ s sin hamartanō; for gar the ho judgment krima following ek the one heis transgression led eis to condemnation katakrima, but de the ho free charisma gift following ek the many polys transgressions paraptōma led eis to justification dikaiōma. 17 For gar if ei by the ho transgression paraptōma of the ho one heis man · ho death thanatos reigned basileuō through dia that ho one heis, much polys more mallon will basileuō those ho who receive lambanō the ho abundance perisseia of ho grace charis and kai the ho gift dōrea of ho righteousness dikaiosynē reign basileuō in en life zōē through dia the ho one heis, Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos. 18 Therefore ara oun, just as hōs one heis man’ s transgression paraptōma brought eis condemnation katakrima for eis all pas men anthrōpos, so houtōs also kai one heis man’ s righteous dikaiōma act brought eis justification dikaiōsis and life zōē for eis all pas men anthrōpos. 19 For gar just hōsper as through dia one heis man’ s anthrōpos · ho disobedience parakoē · ho the ho many polys were made kathistēmi sinners hamartōlos, so houtōs also kai through dia the ho one heis man’s obedience hypakoē · ho the ho many polys will be made kathistēmi righteous dikaios. 20 Now de the law nomos came pareiserchomai in so hina that the ho transgression paraptōma might increase pleonazō; but de where hou sin hamartia increased pleonazō, · ho grace charis increased hyperperisseuō all the more , · ho 21 so hina that just hōsper as sin hamartia reigned basileuō · ho in en · ho death thanatos, so houtōs also kai · ho grace charis might reign basileuō through dia righteousness dikaiosynē leading eis to eternal aiōnios life zōē through dia Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos · ho our hēmeis Lord kyrios.
