| International Standard Version | NET Bible |
| 1Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus the Messiah. | 1Therefore, since we have been declared righteous by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, |
| 2Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace by which we have been established, and we boast because of our hope in God's glory. | 2through whom we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in the hope of God's glory. |
| 3Not only that, but we also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, | 3Not only this, but we also rejoice in sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, |
| 4endurance produces character, and character produces hope. | 4and endurance, character, and character, hope. |
| 5Now this hope does not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. | 5And hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us. |
| 6For at just the right time, while we were still powerless, the Messiah died for the ungodly. | 6For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. |
| 7For it is rare for anyone to die for a righteous person, though somebody might be brave enough to die for a good person. | 7(For rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person perhaps someone might possibly dare to die.) |
| 8But God demonstrates his love for us by the fact that the Messiah died for us while we were still sinners. | 8But God demonstrates his own love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. |
| 9Now that we have been justified by his blood, how much more will we be saved from wrath through him! | 9Much more then, because we have now been declared righteous by his blood, we will be saved through him from God's wrath. |
| 10For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, will we be saved by his life! | 10For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, how much more, since we have been reconciled, will we be saved by his life? |
| 11Not only that, but we also continue to boast about God through our Lord Jesus the Messiah, through whom we have now been reconciled. | 11Not only this, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received this reconciliation. |
| 12Just as sin entered the world through one man, and death resulted from sin, therefore everyone dies, because everyone has sinned. | 12So then, just as sin entered the world through one man and death through sin, and so death spread to all people because all sinned-- |
| 13Certainly sin was in the world before the Law was given, but no record of sin is kept when there is no Law. | 13for before the law was given, sin was in the world, but there is no accounting for sin when there is no law. |
| 14Nevertheless, death ruled from the time of Adam to Moses, even over those who did not sin in the same way Adam did when he disobeyed. He is a foreshadowing of the one who would come. | 14Yet death reigned from Adam until Moses even over those who did not sin in the same way that Adam (who is a type of the coming one) transgressed. |
| 15But God's free gift is not like Adam's offense. For if many people died as the result of one man's offense, how much more have God's grace and the free gift given through the kindness of one man, Jesus the Messiah, been showered on many people! | 15But the gracious gift is not like the transgression. For if the many died through the transgression of the one man, how much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one man Jesus Christ multiply to the many! |
| 16Nor can the free gift be compared to what came through the man who sinned. For the sentence that followed one man's offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift brought justification, even after many offenses. | 16And the gift is not like the one who sinned. For judgment, resulting from the one transgression, led to condemnation, but the gracious gift from the many failures led to justification. |
| 17For if, through one man, death ruled because of that man's offense, how much more will those who receive such overflowing grace and the gift of righteousness rule in life because of one man, Jesus the Messiah! | 17For if, by the transgression of the one man, death reigned through the one, how much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Jesus Christ! |
| 18Consequently, just as one offense resulted in condemnation for everyone, so one act of righteousness results in justification and life for everyone. | 18Consequently, just as condemnation for all people came through one transgression, so too through the one righteous act came righteousness leading to life for all people. |
| 19For just as through one man's disobedience many people were made sinners, so also through one man's obedience many people will be made righteous. | 19For just as through the disobedience of the one man many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of one man many will be made righteous. |
| 20Now the Law crept in so that the offense would increase. But where sin increased, grace increased even more, | 20Now the law came in so that the transgression may increase, but where sin increased, grace multiplied all the more, |
| 21so that, just as sin ruled by bringing death, so also grace might rule by bringing justification that results in eternal life through Jesus the Messiah, our Lord. | 21so that just as sin reigned in death, so also grace will reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. |
