1 Therefore
being justified by
faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
2 By whom also we have access by
faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory
of God.
3 And not only so, but we
glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
4 And patience, experience; and
experience, hope:
5 And hope maketh not ashamed;
because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost
which is given unto us.
6 For when we were yet without
strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
7 For scarcely for a righteous man
will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
8 But God commendeth his love toward
us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Much more then,
being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through
him.
10 For if, when we were enemies, we
were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being
reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
11 And not only so, but we
also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now
received the atonement.
12 Wherefore, as by one man sin
entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all
men, for that all have sinned:
13 (For until the law sin was in the
world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
14 Nevertheless death reigned from
Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of
Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
15 But not as the offence, so also is
the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more
the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus
Christ, hath abounded unto many.
16 And not as it was by one
that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to
condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto
justification.
17 For if by one man’s offence
death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and
of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
18 Therefore as by the offence of
one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the
righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto
justification of life.
19 For as by one man’s
disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many
be made righteous.
20 Moreover the law entered, that
the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more
abound:
21 That as
sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through
righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
