1Therefore having been justified on the principle of faith, we have peace towards °ElohimGod through our Lord Jesus Christ; 2by whom we have also access by faith into this favour in which we stand, and we boast in hope of the glory of °ElohimGod. 3And not only [that], but we also boast in tribulations, knowing that tribulation works endurance; 4and endurance, experience; and experience, hope; 5and hope does not make ashamed, because the love of °ElohimGod is shed abroad in our hearts by [the] Holy Spirit which has been given to us: 6for we being still without strength, in [the] due time Christ has died for [the] ungodly. 7For scarcely for [the] just [man] will one die, for perhaps for [the] good [man] some one might also dare to die; 8but °ElohimGod commends his love to us, in that, we being still sinners, Christ has died for us. 9Much rather therefore, having been now justified in [the power of] his blood, we shall be saved by him from wrath. 10For if, being enemies, we have been reconciled to °ElohimGod through the death of his Son, much rather, having been reconciled, we shall be saved in [the power of] his life. 11And not only [that], but [we are] making our boast in °ElohimGod, through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom now we have received the reconciliation. 12For this [cause], even as by one man sin entered into the world, and by sin death; and thus death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: 13(for until law sin was in [the] world; but sin is not put to account when there is no law; 14but death reigned from Adam until Moses, even upon those who had not sinned in the likeness of Adam's transgression, who is [the] figure of him to come. 15But [shall] not the act of favour [be] as the offence? For if by the offence of one the many have died, much rather has the grace of °ElohimGod, and the free gift in grace, which [is] by the one man Jesus Christ, abounded unto the many. 16And [shall] not as by one that has sinned [be] the gift? For the judgment [was] of one to condemnation, but the act of favour, of many offences unto justification. 17For if by the offence of the one death reigned by the one, much rather shall those who receive the abundance of grace, and of the free gift of righteousness, reign in life by the one Jesus Christ:) 18so then as [it was] by one offence towards all men to condemnation, so by one righteousness towards all men for justification of life. 19For as indeed by the disobedience of the one man the many have been constituted sinners, so also by the obedience of the one the many will be constituted righteous. 20But law came in, in order that the offence might abound; but where sin abounded grace has overabounded, 21in order that, even as sin has reigned in [the power of] death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
