aTherefore, having been justified
by faith
, 1 bwe have
peace
with God
through
our Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
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
.
aAnd not only this, but 1we also
bexult
in our tribulations
, knowing
that tribulation
brings
about
cperseverance
;
and aperseverance, bproven
character
; and proven
character
, hope
;
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.
For while we were still ahelpless
, bat the right
time
cChrist
died
for the ungodly
.
For one will hardly
die
for a righteous
man
; 1though
perhaps
for the good
man
someone
would dare
even
to die
.
But God ademonstrates
bHis own
love
toward
us, in that while we were yet
sinners
, cChrist
died
for us.
Much more
then
, having now
been justified
1 aby His blood
, we shall be saved
bfrom the wrath
of God through
Him.
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
.
aAnd not only this, 1but we also
exult
in God
through
our Lord
Jesus
Christ
, through
whom
we have now
received
bthe reconciliation
.
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
--
for 1until the Law
sin
was in the world
, but asin
is not imputed
when there is no
law
.
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
.
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
.
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
.
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
.
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
.
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
.
1 aThe Law came
in so
that the transgression
would increase
; but where
sin
increased
, bgrace
abounded
all
the more
,
so that, as asin
reigned
in death
, even
so
bgrace
would reign
through
righteousness
to eternal
life
through
Jesus
Christ
our Lord
.
