Romans 5
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Faith Triumphs
5 Therefore, since we have been declared righteous by faith,(A) we have peace[a] with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.(B) 2 We have also obtained access through Him(C) by faith[b] into this grace in which we stand,(D) and we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only that,(E) but we also rejoice in our afflictions,(F) because we know that affliction produces endurance,(G) 4 endurance produces proven character,(H) and proven character produces hope. 5 This hope will not disappoint us,(I) because God’s love has been poured out in our hearts(J) through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
Those Declared Righteous Are Reconciled
6 For while we were still helpless, at the appointed moment,(K) Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For rarely will someone die for a just person—though for a good person perhaps someone might even dare to die. 8 But God proves(L) His own love for us(M) in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us! 9 Much more then, since we have now been declared righteous by His blood,(N) we will be saved through Him from wrath.(O) 10 For if, while we were enemies,(P) we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, then how much more, having been reconciled, will we be saved by His life!(Q) 11 And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ. We have now received this reconciliation through Him.(R)
Death through Adam and Life through Christ
12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man,(S) and death through sin,(T) in this way death spread to all men,(U) because all sinned.[c] 13 In fact, sin was in the world before the law, but sin is not charged to a person’s account when there is no law.(V) 14 Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who did not sin in the likeness of Adam’s transgression.(W) He is a prototype[d] of the Coming One.(X)
15 But the gift is not like the trespass. For if by the one man’s trespass the many died, how much more have the grace of God and the gift overflowed to the many by the grace of the one man,(Y) Jesus Christ. 16 And the gift is not like the one man’s sin, because from one sin came the judgment,(Z) resulting in condemnation, but from many trespasses came the gift, resulting in justification.[e] 17 Since by the one man’s trespass, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive the overflow of grace and the gift of righteousness reign in life(AA) through the one man, Jesus Christ.
18 So then, as through one trespass there is condemnation for everyone, so also through one righteous act there is life-giving justification[f](AB) for everyone. 19 For just as through one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners,(AC) so also through the one man’s obedience(AD) the many will be made righteous. 20 The law came along to multiply the trespass.(AE) But where sin multiplied, grace multiplied even more(AF) 21 so that, just as sin reigned in death,(AG) so also grace will reign(AH) through righteousness, resulting in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Forsoning og fred med Gud
5 Vi blev altså accepteret af Gud, da vi kom til tro på Jesus Kristus, vores Herre. Derfor er vi nu forsonet med Gud og har fået fred i hjertet. 2 Det er også Jesus, der gennem vores tro har ført os ind i den nåde, vi nu lever i, og vi ser med glæde frem til, at vi engang skal få del i al Guds herlighed. 3 Men ikke bare det. Vi glæder os endda over at blive forfulgt, for vi ved, at forfølgelserne styrker vores udholdenhed. 4 Udholdenheden giver os karakterstyrke, og karakterstyrken giver os en stærk forventning om at få del i Guds herlighed engang. 5 Og vi bliver ikke skuffet i vores forventning, for Gud har givet os Helligåndens kraft og fyldt vores hjerter med sin kærlighed.
6 Mens vi endnu var magtesløse og ugudelige, kom Kristus i rette tid og ofrede sit liv for at redde os. 7 Der er ikke mange, der vil ofre livet for at redde et medmenneske! Jo, måske hvis det er et usædvanlig godt menneske. 8 Men Gud viser sin kærlighed mod os, ved at Kristus ofrede sit liv for os, mens vi stadig var syndere, 9 og han har nu accepteret os på grund af Kristi stedfortrædende død. Derfor kan vi trygt regne med, at når Kristus ved sin død forsonede os med Gud, vil han også redde os på dommens dag. 10 Selvom vi var fjender af Gud, blev vi alligevel forsonet med ham, fordi hans Søn døde for os. Nu, da vi er blevet Guds venner, kan vi være forvissede om, at vi vil få det evige liv, fordi Jesus lever. 11 Altså er det en utrolig glæde for os, at vi er blevet forsonet med Gud gennem Jesus Kristus, vores Herre.
Adam og Kristus som modsætninger
12 Det første menneske, Adam, bragte synden ind i verden, og synden førte døden med sig. Sådan fik døden magt over alle mennesker, fordi alle syndede. 13 Synden var i verden, inden loven kom, men den kunne ikke udpeges, så længe der ingen lov var. 14 Døden herskede derfor også i verden, før loven kom, det vil sige fra Adam til Moses. Selv de, der ikke var ulydige mod Gud på samme direkte måde som Adam, måtte dø.
Adam kan sammenlignes med Jesus i den forstand, 15-16 at ét menneskes handling har fået konsekvenser for hele menneskeheden. Men hvor ét menneskes ulydighed førte til død for et utal af mennesker, bragte ét andet menneskes lydighed Guds vældige kærlighed og nåde ud til et utal af mennesker. Efter at ét menneske havde forsyndet sig, måtte Gud afsige dommen over os mennesker og erklære os skyldige. Men efter at mange mennesker havde forsyndet sig, gav Jesus Kristus frivilligt sit liv for os, og derved kunne Gud erklære os skyldfri. 17 Det var ét menneskes synd, som førte til, at døden fik herredømmet over menneskene. Men det var ét menneskes gave, som fører til, at livet får herredømmet over alle, som tager imod Guds overstrømmende nåde og tilgivelse i Jesus Kristus.
18 Det vil altså sige, at ét menneskes forkerte handling førte til fordømmelse og død for alle mennesker. Men det var også ét menneskes rigtige handling, der førte til frikendelse og liv for alle mennesker. 19 Ét menneskes ulydighed førte til, at mange andre gjorde oprør mod Gud. Men det er også ét menneskes lydighed, der fører til, at mange andre ønsker at gøre Guds vilje.
20 Da loven kom til, voksede synden. Men da synden blev større, blev Guds nåde endnu større. 21 Før havde synden herredømmet, og det førte til død. Men hos dem, som har opnået Guds tilgivelse, er det nåden, som har herredømmet, og det fører til det evige liv ved Jesus Kristus, vores Herre.
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.
