Romans 5
Jubilee Bible 2000
5 ¶ Justified therefore by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus, the Christ,
2 by whom we also have access by faith into this grace in which we stand and glory in hope of the glory of the sons of God.
3 And not only this, but we even glory in the tribulations, knowing that the tribulation works patience;
4 and patience, experience; and experience, hope;
5 and the hope shall not be ashamed, because the love of God is poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit which is given unto us.
6 ¶ For the Christ, when we were yet weak, in his time 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 increased the price of his charity toward us in that while we were yet sinners the Christ died for us.
9 Then much more now justified in his blood, we shall be saved from wrath by him.
10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled with God by the death of his Son, much more, now reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
11 And not only this, but we even glory in God through our Lord Jesus, the Christ, by whom we have now received the reconciliation.
12 Therefore, in the manner which sin entered into the world by one man, and because of sin, death; and so death passed upon all men in the one in whom all sinned.
13 For until the law, sin was in the world; but the sin was not imputed, there being no law.
14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even in those that did not sin after the manner of the rebellion of Adam, who is a figure of him that was to come.
15 But not as the offense, so also is the gift. For if through the offense of that one many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of one man, Jesus the Christ, has abounded unto many.
16 Nor was it in the same manner as by one sin, likewise also the gift; for the judgment truly came of one sin unto condemnation, but grace came of many offenses unto justification.
17 For if by one offense, death reigned because of one man; much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of gifts and of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus the Christ.
18 Therefore, in the same manner that by the iniquity of one guilt came upon all men unto condemnation, even so by the righteousness of one, grace 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 so that in the same manner as sin has reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus, the Christ, our Lord.
Romans 5
International Standard Version
We Enjoy Peace with God through Jesus
5 Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have[a] peace with God through our Lord Jesus the Messiah.[b] 2 Through him we have also obtained[c] access by faith[d] into this grace by which we have been established, and we boast[e] because of our hope in God’s glory. 3 Not only that, but we also boast[f] in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, 4 endurance produces character, and character produces hope. 5 Now this hope does not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
6 For at just the right time, while we were still powerless,[g] the Messiah[h] died for the ungodly. 7 For it is rare for anyone to die for a righteous person, though somebody might be brave enough to die for a good person. 8 But God demonstrates his love for us by the fact that the Messiah[i] died for us while we were still sinners.
9 Now that we have been justified by his blood, how much more will we be saved from wrath through him! 10 For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, will we be saved by his life! 11 Not only that, but we also continue to boast about God through our Lord Jesus the Messiah,[j] through whom we have now been reconciled.
Death in Adam, Life in the Messiah
12 Just as sin entered the world through one man, and death resulted from sin, therefore everyone dies, because everyone has sinned. 13 Certainly sin was in the world before the Law was given,[k] but no record of sin is kept when there is no Law. 14 Nevertheless, death ruled from the time of[l] Adam to Moses, even over those who did not sin in the same way Adam did when he disobeyed.[m] He is a foreshadowing of the one who would come.
15 But God’s free gift[n] is not like Adam’s offense.[o] For if many people died as the result of one man’s offense, how much more have God’s grace and the free gift given through the kindness of one man, Jesus the Messiah,[p] been showered on many people! 16 Nor can the free gift be compared to what came through the man who sinned.[q] For the sentence that followed one man’s offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift brought justification, even after many offenses. 17 For if, through one man, death ruled because of that man’s offense, how much more will those who receive such overflowing grace and the gift of righteousness rule in life because of one man, Jesus the Messiah![r]
18 Consequently, just as one offense resulted in condemnation for everyone, so one act of righteousness results in justification and life for everyone. 19 For just as through one man’s disobedience many people were made sinners, so also through one man’s obedience many people will be made righteous. 20 Now the Law crept in so that the offense would increase. But where sin increased, grace increased even more, 21 so that, just as sin ruled by bringing death,[s] so also grace might rule by bringing justification[t] that results in eternal life through Jesus the Messiah,[u] our Lord.
