II.— NUEVA VIDA EN CRISTO (5—8)
Paz con Dios por medio de Cristo
5 Restablecidos, pues, en la amistad divina por medio de la fe, Jesucristo nuestro Señor nos mantiene en paz con Dios. 2 Ha sido, en efecto, Cristo quien nos ha facilitado, mediante la fe, esta apertura a la gracia en la que estamos firmemente instalados a la vez que nos sentimos orgullosos abrigando la esperanza de participar en la gloria de Dios. 3 Es más, hasta de las dificultades nos sentimos orgullosos, porque sabemos que la dificultad produce constancia, 4 la constancia produce una virtud a toda prueba, y una virtud así es fuente de esperanza. 5 Una esperanza que no decepciona, porque al darnos el Espíritu Santo, Dios nos ha inundado con su amor el corazón. 6 Carecíamos de fuerzas, pero Cristo murió por los culpables en el momento señalado. 7 Difícil cosa es afrontar la muerte, aunque sea en favor de una persona buena; no obstante, por una buena causa, tal vez alguien estaría dispuesto a morir. 8 Pues bien, Dios nos ha dado la mayor prueba de su amor haciendo morir a Cristo por nosotros cuando aún éramos pecadores.
9 Pues ahora que, por la muerte de Cristo, Dios nos ha restablecido en su amistad, con mayor razón por el mismo Cristo nos librará del castigo. 10 Y si, siendo enemigos, Dios nos reconcilió consigo mediante la muerte de su Hijo, con mayor razón, ya reconciliados, nos liberará y nos hará participar de su vida. 11 Más aún: el mismo Jesucristo, Señor nuestro, artífice de la obra reconciliadora en el momento presente, hace que nos sintamos orgullosos de Dios.
Adán y Cristo
12 Fue el ser humano el que introdujo el pecado en el mundo, y con el pecado la muerte. Y como todos pecaron, de todos se adueñó la muerte. 13 Antes que se promulgara la ley, ya existía el pecado en el mundo, pero al no haber ley, tampoco el pecado podía ser sancionado. 14 Y, sin embargo, la muerte ejerció su imperio desde Adán hasta Moisés, incluso sobre quienes no pecaron con una transgresión como la de Adán, que es figura del que había de venir.
15 Por más que no hay comparación entre el delito y el don. Porque si el pecado de uno solo acarreó a todos la muerte, la gracia de Dios, es decir, el don gratuito de otro hombre, Jesucristo, se volcó mucho más abundantemente sobre todos. 16 Y existe otra diferencia entre el pecado del uno y el don del otro, ya que el juicio a partir de un solo delito terminó en sentencia condenatoria, mientras que el don, a partir de muchos delitos, terminó en sentencia absolutoria. 17 Si, pues, por el delito de uno, de solamente uno, la muerte implantó su reinado, con mucha mayor razón vivirán y reinarán a causa de uno solo, Jesucristo, los que han recibido con tanta abundancia el don gratuito de la amistad de Dios.
18 En resumen, si el delito de uno acarreó a todos la condena, así también la fidelidad de uno es para todos fuente de salvación y de vida. 19 Y si la desobediencia de uno solo hizo a todos pecadores, también la obediencia de uno solo ha recuperado para todos la amistad de Dios. 20 En cuanto a la ley, únicamente sirvió para que el delito se multiplicara. Pero cuanto más se multiplicó el pecado, tanto más abundante fue la gracia. 21 Así que, lo mismo que el pecado implantó el reinado de la muerte, ahora será la gracia la que reine restableciéndonos en la amistad divina y conduciéndonos a la vida eterna por medio de Jesucristo, Señor nuestro.
Romans 5
New King James Version
Faith Triumphs in Trouble
5 Therefore, (A)having been justified by faith, [a]we have (B)peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 (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. 3 And not only that, but (F)we also glory in tribulations, (G)knowing that tribulation produces [b]perseverance; 4 (H)and perseverance, [c]character; and character, hope. 5 (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
6 For when we were still without strength, [d]in due time (K)Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. 8 But (L)God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 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.

King James Version
5 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.
17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.
19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
