Results of Justification

(A)Therefore, having been justified by faith, [a](B)we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we also have (C)obtained our introduction by faith into this grace (D)in which we stand; and [b]we celebrate in hope of the glory of God. (E)And not only this, but [c]we also (F)celebrate in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about (G)perseverance; and (H)perseverance, (I)proven character; and proven character, hope; and hope (J)does not disappoint, because the love of God has been (K)poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

For while we were still (L)helpless, (M)at the right time (N)Christ died for the ungodly. For one will hardly die for a righteous person; [d]though perhaps for the good person someone would even dare to die. But God (O)demonstrates (P)His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, (Q)Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified [e](R)by His blood, we shall be saved (S)from the wrath of God through Him. 10 For if while we were (T)enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved [f](U)by His life. 11 (V)And not only this, but [g]we also celebrate in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received (W)the reconciliation.

12 Therefore, just as through (X)one man sin entered into the world, and (Y)death through sin, and (Z)so death spread to all mankind, because all sinned— 13 for [h]until the Law sin was in the world, but (AA)sin is not [i]counted against anyone when there is no law. 14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who had not sinned (AB)in the likeness of the [j]violation committed by Adam, who is a [k](AC)type of Him who was to come.

15 But [l]the gracious gift is not like the offense. For if by the offense of (AD)the one (AE)the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by (AF)the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many. 16 The gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned; for on the one hand (AG)the judgment arose from one offense, [m]resulting in condemnation, but on the other hand the gracious gift arose from many offenses, [n]resulting in justification. 17 For if by the offense of the one, death reigned (AH)through the one, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness (AI)reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.

18 So then, as through (AJ)one offense [o]the result was condemnation to all mankind, so also through one (AK)act of righteousness [p]the result was (AL)justification of life to all mankind. 19 For as through the one man’s disobedience (AM)the many (AN)were made sinners, so also through (AO)the obedience of the One (AP)the many will be made righteous. 20 [q](AQ)The Law came in so that the offense would increase; but where sin increased, (AR)grace abounded all the more, 21 so that, as (AS)sin reigned in death, so also (AT)grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Giustificati dunque per fede abbiamo pace presso Dio per mezzo di Gesú Cristo, nostro Signore,

per mezzo del quale abbiamo anche avuto, mediante la fede, l'accesso a questa grazia nella quale stiamo saldi e ci vantiamo nella speranza della gloria di Dio.

E non soltanto questo, ma ci vantiamo anche nelle afflizioni, sapendo che l'afflizione produce perseveranza,

la perseveranza esperienza e l'esperienza speranza.

Or la speranza non confonde, perché l'amore di Dio è stato sparso nei nostri cuori per mezzo dello Spirito Santo che ci è stato dato.

Perché, mentre eravamo ancora senza forza, Cristo a suo tempo è morto per gli empi.

Difficilmente infatti qualcuno muore per un giusto; forse qualcuno ardirebbe morire per un uomo dabbene.

Ma Dio manifesta il suo amore verso di noi in questo che, mentre eravamo ancora peccatori, Cristo è morto per noi.

Molto piú dunque, essendo ora giustificati nel suo sangue, saremo salvati dall'ira per mezzo di lui.

10 Infatti, se mentre eravamo nemici siamo stati riconciliati con Dio per mezzo della morte del suo Figlio, molto piú ora, che siamo stati riconciliati, saremo salvati mediante la sua vita.

11 E non solo, ma anche ci vantiamo in Dio per mezzo del Signor nostro Gesú Cristo, tramite il quale ora abbiamo ricevuto la riconciliazione.

12 Perciò, come per mezzo di un solo uomo il peccato è entrato nel mondo e per mezzo del peccato la morte, cosí la morte si è estesa a tutti gli uomini, perché tutti hanno peccato;

13 perché, fino a che fu promulgata la legge, il peccato era nel mondo; ora il peccato non è imputato se non vi è legge;

14 ma la morte regnò da Adamo fino a Mosé anche su quelli che non avevano peccato con una trasgressione simile a quella di Adamo, che è figura di colui che doveva venire.

15 La grazia però non è come la trasgressione; se infatti per la trasgressione di uno solo quei molti sono morti, molto piú la grazia di Dio e il dono per la grazia di un uomo, Gesú Cristo, hanno abbondato verso molti altri.

16 Riguardo al dono, non è avvenuto come per quell'uno che ha peccato, perché il giudizio produsse la condanna da una sola trasgressione, ma la grazia produsse la giustificazione da molte trasgressioni.

17 Infatti, se per la trasgressione di quell'uno solo la morte ha regnato a causa di quell'uno, molto di piú coloro che ricevono l'abbondanza della grazia e del dono della giustizia regneranno nella vita per mezzo di quell'uno, che è Gesú Cristo.

18 Per cui, come per una sola trasgressione la condanna si è estesa a tutti gli uomini, cosí pure con un solo atto di giustizia la grazia si è estesa a tutti gli uomini in giustificazione di vita.

19 Infatti, come per la disubbidienza di un solo uomo i molti sono stati costituiti peccatori, cosí ancora per l'ubbidienza di uno solo i molti saranno costituiti giusti.

20 Or la legge intervenne affinché la trasgressione abbondasse; ma dove il peccato è abbondato, la grazia è sovrabbondata,

21 affinché come il peccato ha regnato nella morte, cosí anche la grazia regni per la giustizia a vita eterna per mezzo di Gesú Cristo, nostro Signore.

Faith Triumphs in Trouble

Therefore, (A)having been justified by faith, [a]we have (B)peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, (C)through whom also we have access by faith into this grace (D)in which we stand, and (E)rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only that, but (F)we also glory in tribulations, (G)knowing that tribulation produces [b]perseverance; (H)and perseverance, [c]character; and character, hope. (I)Now hope does not disappoint, (J)because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

Christ in Our Place

For when we were still without strength, [d]in due time (K)Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But (L)God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified (M)by His blood, we shall be saved (N)from wrath through Him. 10 For (O)if when we were enemies (P)we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved (Q)by His life. 11 And not only that, but we also (R)rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

Death in Adam, Life in Christ(S)

12 Therefore, just as (T)through one man sin entered the world, and (U)death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned— 13 (For until the law sin was in the world, but (V)sin is not imputed when there is no law. 14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned according to the likeness of the transgression of Adam, (W)who is a type of Him who was to come. 15 But the free gift is not like the [e]offense. For if by the one man’s offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded (X)to many. 16 And the gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned. For the judgment which came from one offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift which came from many [f]offenses resulted in justification. 17 For if by the one man’s [g]offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)

18 Therefore, as through [h]one man’s offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through (Y)one[i] Man’s righteous act the free gift came (Z)to all men, resulting in justification of life. 19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by (AA)one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.

20 Moreover (AB)the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace (AC)abounded much more, 21 so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
