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, 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. 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, · ho and de endurance hypomonē produces character dokimē, · ho and de character dokimē produces hope elpis, · 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. 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. 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. 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. 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 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 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.

We Enjoy Peace with God through Jesus

Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have[a] peace with God through our Lord Jesus the Messiah.[b] Through him we have also obtained[c] access by faith[d] into this grace by which we have been established, and we boast[e] because of our hope in God’s glory. Not only that, but we also boast[f] in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, endurance produces character, and character produces hope. Now this hope does not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

For at just the right time, while we were still powerless,[g] the Messiah[h] died for the ungodly. For it is rare for anyone to die for a righteous person, though somebody might be brave enough to die for a good person. But God demonstrates his love for us by the fact that the Messiah[i] died for us while we were still sinners.

Now that we have been justified by his blood, how much more will we be saved from wrath through him! 10 For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, will we be saved by his life! 11 Not only that, but we also continue to boast about God through our Lord Jesus the Messiah,[j] through whom we have now been reconciled.

Death in Adam, Life in the Messiah

12 Just as sin entered the world through one man, and death resulted from sin, therefore everyone dies, because everyone has sinned. 13 Certainly sin was in the world before the Law was given,[k] but no record of sin is kept when there is no Law. 14 Nevertheless, death ruled from the time of[l] Adam to Moses, even over those who did not sin in the same way Adam did when he disobeyed.[m] He is a foreshadowing of the one who would come.

15 But God’s free gift[n] is not like Adam’s offense.[o] For if many people died as the result of one man’s offense, how much more have God’s grace and the free gift given through the kindness of one man, Jesus the Messiah,[p] been showered on many people! 16 Nor can the free gift be compared to what came through the man who sinned.[q] For the sentence that followed one man’s offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift brought justification, even after many offenses. 17 For if, through one man, death ruled because of that man’s offense, how much more will those who receive such overflowing grace and the gift of righteousness rule in life because of one man, Jesus the Messiah![r]

18 Consequently, just as one offense resulted in condemnation for everyone, so one act of righteousness results in justification and life for everyone. 19 For just as through one man’s disobedience many people were made sinners, so also through one man’s obedience many people will be made righteous. 20 Now the Law crept in so that the offense would increase. But where sin increased, grace increased even more, 21 so that, just as sin ruled by bringing death,[s] so also grace might rule by bringing justification[t] that results in eternal life through Jesus the Messiah,[u] our Lord.

Peace and Hope

Therefore, since we have been justified(A) through faith,(B) we[a] have peace(C) with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,(D) 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. Not only so, but we[c] also glory in our sufferings,(H) because we know that suffering produces perseverance;(I) perseverance, character; and character, hope. 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.

You see, at just the right time,(M) when we were still powerless,(N) Christ died for the ungodly.(O) Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.(P)

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.
