NASB Bible

Romans 5

Results of Justification

1

 aTherefore, having been justified by faith,  1 bwe have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

2

through whom also we have  aobtained our introduction by faith into this grace  bin which we stand; and  1we exult in hope of the glory of God.

3

 aAnd not only this, but  1we also  bexult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about  cperseverance;

4

and  aperseverance,  bproven character; and proven character, hope;

5

and hope  adoes not disappoint, because the love of God has been  bpoured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

6

For while we were still  ahelpless,  bat the right time  cChrist died for the ungodly.

7

For one will hardly die for a righteous man;  1though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die.

8

But God  ademonstrates  bHis own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners,  cChrist died for us.

9

Much more then, having now been justified  1 aby His blood, we shall be saved  bfrom the wrath of God through Him.

10

For if while we were  aenemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved  1 bby His life.

11

 aAnd not only this,  1but we also exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received  bthe reconciliation.

12

Therefore, just as through  aone man sin entered into the world, and  bdeath through sin, and  cso death spread to all men, because all sinned--

13

for  1until the Law sin was in the world, but  asin is not imputed when there is no law.

14

Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who had not sinned  ain the likeness of the offense of Adam, who is a  1 btype of Him who was to come.

15

But  1the free gift is not like the transgression. For if by the transgression of  athe one  bthe many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by  cthe grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many.

16

The gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned; for on the one hand  athe judgment arose from one transgression  1resulting in condemnation, but on the other hand the free gift arose from many transgressions  2resulting in justification.

17

For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned  athrough the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will  breign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.

18

So then as through  aone transgression  1there resulted condemnation to all men, even so through one  bact of righteousness  2there resulted  cjustification of life to all men.

19

For as through the one man's disobedience  athe many  bwere made sinners, even so through  cthe obedience of the One  athe many will be made righteous.

20

 1 aThe Law came in so that the transgression would increase; but where sin increased,  bgrace abounded all the more,

21

so that, as  asin reigned in death, even so  bgrace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
