Romans 5:6-21

6For while we were stillG2089 1helplessG772, 2at the rightG2540 timeG2540 3ChristG5547 diedG599 for the ungodlyG765. 7For oneG5100 will hardlyG3433 dieG599 for a righteousG1342 personG1342; 4thoughG1063 perhapsG5029 for the goodG18 personG18 someoneG5100 would evenG2532 dareG5111 to dieG599. 8But GodG2316 5demonstratesG4921 6His ownG1438 loveG26 towardG1519 us, in that while we were stillG2089 sinnersG268, 7ChristG5547 diedG599 for us. 9MuchG4183 moreG3123 thenG3767, having nowG3568 been justifiedG1344 89by His bloodG129, we shall be savedG4982 10from the wrathG3709 of God throughG1223 Him. 10For ifG1487 while we were 11enemiesG2190 we were reconciledG2644 to GodG2316 throughG1223 the deathG2288 of His SonG5207, muchG4183 moreG3123, having been reconciledG2644, we shall be savedG4982 1213by His lifeG2222. 1114And not onlyG3440 this, but 15we alsoG2532 celebrateG2744 in GodG2316 throughG1223 our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, throughG1223 whomG3739 we have nowG3568 receivedG2983 16the reconciliationG2643.

12ThereforeG1223G3778, justG5618 as throughG1223 17oneG1520 manG444 sinG266 enteredG1525 into the worldG2889, and 18deathG2288 throughG1223 sinG266, and 19soG3779 deathG2288 spreadG1330 to allG3956 mankindG444, becauseG1909G3739 allG3956 sinnedG264-- 13for 20untilG891 the LawG3551 sinG266 was in the worldG2889, but 21sinG266 is not 22countedG1677 againstG1677 anyone when there is noG3361 lawG3551. 14NeverthelessG235 deathG2288 reignedG936 from AdamG76 untilG3360 MosesG3475, evenG2532 overG1909 thoseG3588 who had not sinnedG264 23in the likenessG3667 of the 24violationG3847 committed by AdamG76, whoG3739 is a 2526typeG5179 of Him who was toG3195 comeG3195.

15But 27the graciousG5486 giftG5486 is not likeG5613 the offenseG3900. For ifG1487 by the offenseG3900 of 28the oneG1520 29the manyG4183 diedG599, muchG4183 moreG3123 did the graceG5485 of GodG2316 and the giftG1431 by 30the graceG5485 of the oneG1520 ManG444, JesusG2424 ChristG5547, overflowG4052 to the manyG4183. 16The giftG1434 is not likeG5613 that which came throughG1223 the oneG1520 who sinnedG264; for on the oneG3303 handG3303 31the judgmentG2917 arose from oneG1520 offense, 32resultingG1519 inG1519 condemnationG2631, but on the otherG1161 handG1161 the graciousG5486 giftG5486 arose from manyG4183 offensesG3900, 33resultingG1519 inG1519 justificationG1345. 17For ifG1487 by the offenseG3900 of the oneG1520, deathG2288 reignedG936 34throughG1223 the oneG1520, muchG4183 moreG3123 will thoseG3588 who receiveG2983 the abundanceG4050 of graceG5485 and of the giftG1431 of righteousnessG1343 35reignG936 in lifeG2222 throughG1223 the OneG1520, JesusG2424 ChristG5547.

18SoG686 thenG3767, as throughG1223 36oneG1520 offenseG3900 37the resultG1519 was condemnationG2631 to allG3956 mankindG444, soG3779 alsoG2532 throughG1223 oneG1520 38actG1345 ofG1345 righteousnessG1345 39the resultG1519 was 40justificationG1347 of lifeG2222 to allG3956 mankindG444. 19For as throughG1223 the oneG1520 man’sG444 disobedienceG3876 41the manyG4183 42were madeG2525 sinnersG268, soG3779 alsoG2532 throughG1223 43the obedienceG5218 of the OneG1520 44the manyG4183 will be madeG2525 righteousG1342. 204546The LawG3551 cameG3922 inG3922 soG2443 thatG2443 the offenseG3900 would increaseG4121; but whereG3757 sinG266 increasedG4121, 47graceG5485 aboundedG5248 allG5248 theG5248 moreG5248, 21soG2443 thatG2443, as 48sinG266 reignedG936 in deathG2288, soG3779 alsoG2532 49graceG5485 would reignG936 throughG1223 righteousnessG1343 to eternalG166 lifeG2222 throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 our LordG2962.
