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.

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.

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.
