Faith Triumphs

1Therefore, since we have been justified by faith,a we have peaceA with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.b 2We have also obtained access through hima by faithA into this grace in which we stand,b and we boastB in the hope of the glory of God. 3And not only that,a but we also boast in our afflictions,b because we know that affliction produces endurance,c 4endurance produces proven character,a and proven character produces hope. 5This hope will not disappoint us,a because God’s love has been poured out in our heartsb through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

The Justified Are Reconciled

6For while we were still helpless, at the right time,a Christ died for the ungodly. 7For rarely will someone die for a just person — though for a good person perhaps someone might even dare to die. 8But God provesa his own love for usb in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9How much more then, since we have now been justified by his blood,a will we be saved through him from wrath.b 10For if, while we were enemies,a we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, then how much more, having been reconciled, will we be saved by his life.b 11And not only that, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received this reconciliation.a

Death through Adam and Life through Christ

12Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man,a and death through sin,b in this way death spread to all people,c because all sinned.A 13In fact, sin was in the world before the law, but sin is not charged to a person’s account when there is no law.a 14Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who did not sin in the likeness of Adam’s transgression.a He is a type of the Coming One.b

15But the gift is not like the trespass. For if by the one man’s trespass the many died, how much more have the grace of God and the gift which comes through the grace of the one mana Jesus Christ overflowed to the many. 16And the gift is not like the one man’s sin, because from one sin came the judgment,a resulting in condemnation, but from many trespasses came the gift, resulting in justification.A 17If by the one man’s trespass, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive the overflow of grace and the gift of righteousness reign in lifea through the one man, Jesus Christ.

18So then, as through one trespass there is condemnation for everyone, so also through one righteous act there is justification leading to lifea for everyone. 19For just as through one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners,a so also through the one man’s obedienceb the many will be made righteous. 20The law came along to multiply the trespass.a But where sin multiplied, grace multiplied even moreb 21so that, just as sin reigned in death,a so also grace will reignb through righteousness, resulting in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
