Romans 5
Revised Standard Version
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.

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.

Palabra de Dios para Todos
Aprobados por Dios
5 Así que Dios nos aprobó gracias a la fe, y ahora, por medio de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, hay paz[a] entre Dios y nosotros. 2 A través de la fe, Cristo nos ha traído al generoso amor de Dios que ahora disfrutamos, y estamos felices con la esperanza de compartir la gloria de Dios. 3 Pero hay más, podemos sentirnos felices aun cuando tenemos sufrimientos porque los sufrimientos nos enseñan a ser pacientes. 4 Si tenemos paciencia, nuestro carácter se fortalece y con un carácter así, nuestra esperanza aumenta. 5 Esa esperanza no nos va a fallar porque Dios nos dio el Espíritu Santo, quien ha derramado el amor de Dios en nosotros.
6 Cristo murió por nosotros en el momento preciso: cuando éramos incapaces de salvarnos, siendo enemigos de Dios. 7 Es muy difícil que alguien muera por salvar a una persona justa. Pero quizás alguien pudiera arriesgar su vida por una persona muy buena. 8 En cambio, Dios nos demostró su amor en que Cristo murió por nosotros aun cuando éramos pecadores.
9 Con mucha más razón ahora, seremos salvos de la ira de Dios porque él nos aprobó por medio de la muerte de Cristo. 10 Cuando éramos enemigos de Dios, él hizo las paces con nosotros a través de la muerte de su Hijo. Con mayor razón ahora que somos amigos de Dios, él nos va a salvar por medio de la vida de Cristo. 11 Además, ahora nos alegramos por lo que Dios ha hecho ya que tenemos amistad con Dios a través de nuestro Señor Jesucristo.
Adán y Cristo
12 El pecado llegó al mundo por lo que hizo un hombre. Con el pecado llegó también la muerte. Todos tendrán que morir porque todos han pecado. 13 El pecado llegó al mundo antes que la ley, pero Dios no acusa a la gente de pecado si no hay una ley. 14 Sin embargo, desde el tiempo de Adán hasta el tiempo de Moisés todos tuvieron que morir. Adán tuvo que morir porque desobedeció el mandato de Dios. Incluso los que no cometieron el pecado que cometió Adán, tuvieron que morir.
Adán era como el que vendría en el futuro. 15 En cambio, el regalo de Dios no tiene comparación con el pecado de Adán: lo que mucha gente recibió por culpa de un solo hombre fue la muerte. En cambio, lo que mucha gente recibió por el generoso amor de Dios fue el regalo de la vida gracias a un solo hombre, Jesucristo. 16 Adán pecó y eso trajo la condenación, pero el regalo de Dios es diferente: se recibe después de cometer muchos pecados y lleva a la aprobación de Dios. 17 La muerte reinó porque un solo hombre pecó. Pero los que han recibido en abundancia el generoso amor de Dios, con mucha más razón ahora tendrán vida y reinarán. Ellos recibieron su aprobación mediante un solo hombre, Jesucristo.
18 Así como un pecado de Adán trajo la condenación a todos los seres humanos, así también un acto de bondad de Cristo trajo la aprobación de Dios y vida para todos. 19 Un hombre desobedeció a Dios e hizo que muchos llegaran a ser pecadores, pero de la misma manera un solo hombre obedeció a Dios y así hizo que muchos fueran aprobados por Dios. 20 La ley llegó para que el pecado aumentara, pero cuanto más aumentó el pecado, aumentó aun más el generoso amor de Dios. 21 El pecado reinó por medio de la muerte, pero ahora el generoso amor de Dios reina aprobándonos por medio de nuestro Señor Jesucristo y dándonos vida eterna.
