Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:1 - For which reason, because we have righteousness through faith, let us be at peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:2 - Through whom, in the same way, we have been able by faith to come to this grace in which we now are; and let us have joy in hope of the glory of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:3 - And not only so, but let us have joy in our troubles: in the knowledge that trouble gives us the power of waiting;
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:4 - And waiting gives experience; and experience, hope:
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:5 - And hope does not put to shame; because our hearts are full of the love of God through the Holy Spirit which is given to us.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:6 - For when we were still without strength, at the right time Christ gave his life for evil-doers.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:7 - Now it is hard for anyone to give his life even for an upright man, though it might be that for a good man someone would give his life.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:8 - But God has made clear his love to us, in that, when we were still sinners, Christ gave his life for us.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:9 - Much more, if we now have righteousness by his blood, will salvation from the wrath of God come to us through him.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:10 - For if, when we were haters of God, the death of his Son made us at peace with him, much more, now that we are his friends, will we have salvation through his life;
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:11 - And not only so, but we have joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we are now at peace with God.
(Gen 3:1–19 )
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:12 - For this reason, as through one man sin came into the world, and death because of sin, and so death came to all men, because all have done evil:
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:13 - Because, till the law came, sin was in existence, but sin is not put to the account of anyone when there is no law to be broken.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:14 - But still death had power from Adam till Moses, even over those who had not done wrong like Adam, who is a picture of him who was to come.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:15 - But the free giving of God is not like the wrongdoing of man. For if, by the wrongdoing of one man death came to numbers of men, much more did the grace of God, and the free giving by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, come to men.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:16 - And the free giving has not the same effect as the sin of one: for the effect of one man's sin was punishment by the decision of God, but the free giving had power to give righteousness to wrongdoers in great number.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:17 - For, if by the wrongdoing of one, death was ruling through the one, much more will those to whom has come the wealth of grace and the giving of righteousness, be ruling in life through the one, even Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:18 - So then, as the effect of one act of wrongdoing was that punishment came on all men, even so the effect of one act of righteousness was righteousness of life for all men.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:19 - Because, as numbers of men became sinners through the wrongdoing of one man, even so will great numbers get righteousness through the keeping of the word of God by one man.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:20 - And the law came in addition, to make wrongdoing worse; but where there was much sin, there was much more grace:
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:21 - That, as sin had power in death, so grace might have power through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
