Romans 5 :: New King James Version (NKJV)

Faith Triumphs in Trouble

Death in Adam, Life in Christ

Rom 5:1Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have[fn] peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

Rom 5:2through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

Rom 5:3

Rom 5:3And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance;

Rom 5:4

Rom 5:4and perseverance, character; and character, hope.

Rom 5:5

Rom 5:5Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

Christ in Our Place

Rom 5:6

Rom 5:6For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

Rom 5:7

Rom 5:7For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die.

Rom 5:8

Rom 5:8But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Rom 5:9

Rom 5:9Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.

Rom 5:10

Rom 5:10For if when 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.

Rom 5:11

Rom 5:11And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

Death in Adam, Life in Christ

(Gen. 3:1–19 )

Rom 5:12

Rom 5:12Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned—

Rom 5:13

Rom 5:13(For until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

Rom 5:14

Rom 5:14Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned according to the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come.

Rom 5:15

Rom 5:15But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the one man’s offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many.

Rom 5:16

Rom 5:16And the gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned. For the judgment which came from one offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift which came from many offenses resulted in justification.

Rom 5:17

Rom 5:17For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)

Rom 5:18

Rom 5:18Therefore, as through one man’s offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man’s righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life.

Rom 5:19

Rom 5:19For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.

Rom 5:20

Rom 5:20Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more,

Rom 5:21

Rom 5:21so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
