Romans 5
Worldwide English (New Testament)
5 We are made good people and put right with God when we believe in Jesus Christ. So now we have peace with God because of what our Lord Jesus Christ did.
2 Because we believe, Christ has brought us to the place where God can do us good. We are in that place now. We are very happy because we have the hope that we shall see God's greatness.
3 And not only is that true, but we are very happy in our troubles, because we know that trouble makes us stronger.
4 When we are strong to take trouble, we prove that we believe. When we prove that we believe, we have hope.
5 We will not be disappointed by this hope. God has given us the Holy Spirit. And the Holy Spirit has put God's love in our hearts.
6 We could not help ourselves. So at the right time, Christ died to save us bad people.
7 Almost no one would die to save even a good man. But perhaps someone would die to save a very good man.
8 God shows his love for us in this way: Christ died to save us while we were bad people.
9 The blood of Christ has now put us right with God. So even more, he will save us from God's strong anger.
10 When we were enemies, the death of his Son brought us back to God. Now that we are made right with God, it is the life of Jesus that will save us.
11 Not only is that true, but it is through our Lord Jesus Christ that we can enjoy God. This is for all who have been brought back to God by him.
12 One man [Adam] did a wrong thing. And the wrong thing he did made him die. So all men die because all have done wrong things.
13 People in the world were not right with God before he gave the law. But wrong things are not punished when there is no law.
14 Yet death ruled over people from Adam's time to Moses' time. It even ruled over the people who were not as wrong as Adam. Adam was like a person who would come later.
15 But the free gift is not like the wrong thing. Many people died because one man did a wrong thing. This is sure. God was very kind and he gave a free gift. This gift was given to many people because one man, Jesus Christ, did a very kind thing.
16 The free gift is not like the wrong thing one man did. Because of that one man people were judged. And they were punished. Because many people did wrong things, God gave his free gift and many people were made right with him.
17 One man did a wrong thing. And so death ruled over people because of that one man. God has been kind to people and given them his free gift. That gift is to make people right with God. People who take that gift will live and rule because of one man, Jesus Christ.
18 One man did a wrong thing. And so all people were punished through him. But Christ did the right thing. And so all people can have the free gift of life through being put right with God.
19 One man did not obey. And so many people were bad people. One man obeyed. And so many people will be made right with God.
20 When the law came, it showed how wrong people really were. But when people were really bad, God was even more kind.
21 The wrong things people did ruled over them, and they died. Now God has been very kind. He has made people right with him. So now God's blessing will rule over them, and they will live for ever. Jesus Christ our Lord has done this for them.
Romans 5
New International Version
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.

罗马书 5
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
因信称义后所得的恩典
5 所以,我们既然因信称义,就借着我们的主耶稣基督与 神和好; 2 我们也凭着信,借着他可以进入现在所站的这恩典中,并且以盼望得享 神的荣耀为荣。 3 不但这样,我们更以患难为荣;知道患难产生忍耐, 4 忍耐产生毅力,毅力产生盼望; 5 盼望是不会令人蒙羞的,因为 神借着所赐给我们的圣灵,把他的爱浇灌在我们的心里。 6 当我们还软弱的时候,基督就照所定的日期,为不敬虔的人死了。 7 为义人死,是少有的;为好人死,或有敢作的; 8 唯有基督在我们还作罪人的时候为我们死, 神对我们的爱就在此显明了。 9 所以,我们现在既然因他的血称义,就更要借着他免受 神的忿怒。 10 我们作仇敌的时候,尚且借着 神儿子的死与他复和,既然复和了,就更要因他的生得救了! 11 不但这样,我们现在已经借着我们的主耶稣基督与 神复和,也借着他以 神为荣。
亚当与基督的比较
12 正好象罪借着一个人入了世界,死又是从罪来的,所以死就临到所有人,因为所有人都犯了罪。 13 没有律法以前,罪已经在世界上了;不过,没有律法的时候,罪也不算罪。 14 可是,从亚当到摩西,死就掌权了,甚至那些不像亚当那样犯罪的人,也在死的权下;亚当正是要来的那一位的预表。
15 但恩赏和过犯是截然不同的;如果因着那一人的过犯,众人都死了, 神的恩典和这一人耶稣基督在恩典里的赏赐,对众人就更加丰盛了。 16 这赏赐和那一人犯罪的后果也是不同的;因为审判是由一人而来,以致定罪,恩赏却由许多过犯而来,以致称义。 17 如果因着那一人的过犯,死就因那一人而掌权,那些蒙丰富的恩典并且得公义为赏赐的,就更要因这一位耶稣基督在生命中掌权了。 18 这样看来,因一次的过犯,所有人都被定罪;照样,因一次的义行,所有人都被称义得生命了。 19 因着那一人的悖逆,众人就被列为罪人;照样,因着这一人的顺服,众人也被列为义人了。 20 律法的出现,是要叫过犯增多;然而罪在哪里增多,恩典就更加增多了。 21 罪借着死掌权;照样,恩典也借着义掌权,使人借着我们的主耶稣基督进入永生。
