| 1Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, | 1Therefore, since we have been declared righteous by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, |
| 2through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God. | 2through whom we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in the hope of God's glory. |
| 3And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; | 3Not only this, but we also rejoice in sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, |
| 4and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; | 4and endurance, character, and character, hope. |
| 5and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us. | 5And hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us. |
| 6For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. | 6For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. |
| 7For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die. | 7(For rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person perhaps someone might possibly dare to die.) |
| 8But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. | 8But God demonstrates his own love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. |
| 9Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him. | 9Much more then, because we have now been declared righteous by his blood, we will be saved through him from God's wrath. |
| 10For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. | 10For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, how much more, since we have been reconciled, will we be saved by his life? |
| 11And not only this, but we also exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation. | 11Not only this, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received this reconciliation. |
| 12Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned-- | 12So then, just as sin entered the world through one man and death through sin, and so death spread to all people because all sinned-- |
| 13for until the Law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law. | 13for before the law was given, sin was in the world, but there is no accounting for sin when there is no law. |
| 14Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who had not sinned in the likeness of the offense of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come. | 14Yet death reigned from Adam until Moses even over those who did not sin in the same way that Adam (who is a type of the coming one) transgressed. |
| 15But the free gift is not like the transgression. For if by the transgression of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many. | 15But the gracious gift is not like the transgression. For if the many died through the transgression of the one man, how much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one man Jesus Christ multiply to the many! |
| 16The gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned; for on the one hand the judgment arose from one transgression resulting in condemnation, but on the other hand the free gift arose from many transgressions resulting in justification. | 16And the gift is not like the one who sinned. For judgment, resulting from the one transgression, led to condemnation, but the gracious gift from the many failures led to justification. |
| 17For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ. | 17For if, by the transgression of the one man, death reigned through the one, how much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Jesus Christ! |
| 18So then as through one transgression there resulted condemnation to all men, even so through one act of righteousness there resulted justification of life to all men. | 18Consequently, just as condemnation for all people came through one transgression, so too through the one righteous act came righteousness leading to life for all people. |
| 19For as through the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the One the many will be made righteous. | 19For just as through the disobedience of the one man many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of one man many will be made righteous. |
| 20The Law came in so that the transgression would increase; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, | 20Now the law came in so that the transgression may increase, but where sin increased, grace multiplied all the more, |
| 21so that, as sin reigned in death, even so grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. | 21so that just as sin reigned in death, so also grace will reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. |
