Romans 5

1ThereforeG3767, since we have been justifiedG1344 throughG1537 faithG4102, we haveG21921 peaceG1515 withG4314 GodG2316 throughG1223 ourG1473 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, 2throughG1223 whomG3739 we have gainedG2192 accessG4318 byG3588 faithG4102 intoG1519 thisG3778 graceG5485 inG1722 whichG3739 we standG2476. AndG2532 we rejoiceG27442 inG1909 the hopeG1680 of theG3588 gloryG1391 of GodG2316.

3NotG3756 onlyG3440 that, butG235 we also rejoiceG2532G2744 inG1722 our sufferingsG2347, because we knowG1492 thatG3754 sufferingG2347 producesG2716 perseveranceG5281; 4perseveranceG5281, characterG1382; andG1161 characterG1382, hopeG1680. 5AndG1161 hopeG1680 does not disappointG3756G2617 us, becauseG3754 GodG2316 has poured outG1632 His loveG26 intoG1722 ourG1473 heartsG2588 throughG1223 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, whomG3588 He has givenG1325 usG1473.

Christ’s Sacrifice for the Ungodly

(John 3:1–21)

6ForG1063 atG2596 justG2089 the right timeG2540, whileG1473 we wereG1510 stillG2089 powerlessG772, ChristG5547 diedG599 forG5228 the ungodlyG765. 7VeryG1063 rarelyG3433 will anyoneG5100 dieG599 forG5228 a righteousG1342 man, thoughG1063 forG5228 a goodG18 man someoneG5100 might possiblyG5029G2532 dareG5111 to dieG599. 8ButG1161 GodG2316 provesG4921 HisG1438 loveG26 forG1519 usG1473 in thisG3754: While weG1473 wereG1510 stillG2089 sinnersG268, ChristG5547 diedG599 forG5228 usG1473.

9ThereforeG3767, since we have now been justifiedG1344G3568 byG1722 HisG846 bloodG129, how muchG4183 moreG3123 shall we be savedG4982 fromG575 wrathG3709 throughG1223 HimG846! 10ForG1063 ifG1487, when we wereG1510 enemiesG2190 of God, we were reconciledG2644 toG2316 Him throughG1223 theG3588 deathG2288 ofG3588 HisG846 SonG5207, how muchG4183 moreG3123, having been reconciledG2644, shall we be savedG4982 throughG1722 HisG846 lifeG2222! 11NotG3756 onlyG3440 thatG1161, butG235 we also rejoiceG2532G2744 inG1722 GodG2316 throughG1223 ourG1473 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, throughG1223 whomG3739 we have now receivedG3568G2983 reconciliationG2643.

Death in Adam, Life in Christ

(Genesis 3:1–7)

12ThereforeG1223G3778, just asG5618 sinG266 enteredG1525G1519 theG3588 worldG2889 throughG1223 oneG1520 manG444, andG2532 deathG2288 throughG1223 sinG266, soG3779 alsoG2532 deathG2288 was passed onG1330 toG1519 allG3956 menG444, becauseG1909G3739 allG3956 sinnedG264. 13ForG1063 sinG266 wasG1510 inG1722 the worldG2889 beforeG891 the lawG3551 was given; butG1161 sinG266 is not taken into accountG3756G1677 when there isG1510 noG3361 lawG3551. 14NeverthelessG235, deathG2288 reignedG936 fromG575 AdamG76 untilG3360 MosesG3475, evenG2532 overG1909 those whoG3588 did not sinG264G3361 inG1909 theG3588 way thatG3667 AdamG76 transgressedG3847. HeG3739 isG1510 a patternG5179 of theG3588 One to comeG3195.

15ButG235 theG3588 giftG5486 is notG3756 likeG5613 theG3588 trespassG3900. ForG1063 ifG1487 theG3588 manyG4183 diedG599 by theG3588 trespassG3900 of theG3588 oneG1520 man, how muchG4183 moreG3123 didG3588 God’sG2316 graceG5485 andG2532 theG3588 giftG1431 that came byG1722 the graceG5485 of theG3588 oneG1520 manG444, JesusG2424 ChristG5547, aboundG4052 toG1519 theG3588 manyG4183! 16AgainG2532, theG3588 giftG1434 is notG3756 likeG5613 the result of the oneG1520 man’s sinG264: TheG3588 judgmentG2917 that followed oneG1520 sin brought condemnationG2631, butG1161 theG3588 giftG5486 that followed manyG4183 trespassesG3900 brought justificationG1345. 17ForG1063 ifG1487, by theG3588 trespassG3900 of theG3588 oneG1520 man, deathG2288 reignedG936 throughG1223 that oneG1520 man, how muchG4183 moreG3123 will those whoG3588 receiveG2983 theG3588 abundanceG4050 of graceG5485 andG2532 of theG3588 giftG1431 of righteousnessG1343 reignG936 inG1722 lifeG2222 throughG1223 theG3588 one manG1520, JesusG2424 ChristG5547!

18SoG686 thenG3767, just asG5613 oneG1520 trespassG3900 brought condemnationG2631 forG1519 allG3956 menG444, soG3779 alsoG2532 oneG1520 act of righteousnessG1345 brought justificationG1347 and lifeG2222 forG1519 allG3956 menG444. 19For just asG5618G1063 throughG1223 theG3588 disobedienceG3876 of theG3588 oneG1520 manG444 theG3588 manyG4183 were madeG2525 sinnersG268, soG3779 alsoG2532 throughG1223 theG3588 obedienceG5218 of theG3588 oneG1520 man theG3588 manyG4183 will be madeG2525 righteousG1342.

20

The lawG3551 came inG3922 so thatG2443 theG3588 trespassG3900 would increaseG4121; butG1161 whereG3757 sinG266 increasedG4121, graceG5485 increased all the moreG5248, 21so thatG2443, just asG5618 sinG266 reignedG936 inG1722 deathG2288, soG3779 alsoG2532 graceG5485 might reignG936 throughG1223 righteousnessG1343 to bringG1519 eternalG166 lifeG2222 throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ourG1473 LordG2962.
