| 1Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: | 1Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, |
| 2By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. | 2through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God. |
| 3And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; | 3And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; |
| 4And patience, experience; and experience, hope: | 4and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; |
| 5And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. | 5and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us. |
| 6For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. | 6For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. |
| 7For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. | 7For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die. |
| 8But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. | 8But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. |
| 9Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. | 9Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him. |
| 10For 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. | 10For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. |
| 11And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. | 11And not only this, but we also exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation. |
| 12Wherefore, 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: | 12Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned-- |
| 13(For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. | 13for until the Law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law. |
| 14Nevertheless 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. | 14Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who had not sinned in the likeness of the offense of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come. |
| 15But 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. | 15But the free gift is not like the transgression. For if by the transgression of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many. |
| 16And 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. | 16The gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned; for on the one hand the judgment arose from one transgression resulting in condemnation, but on the other hand the free gift arose from many transgressions resulting in justification. |
| 17For 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.) | 17For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ. |
| 18Therefore 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. | 18So then as through one transgression there resulted condemnation to all men, even so through one act of righteousness there resulted justification of life to all men. |
| 19For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. | 19For as through the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the One the many will be made righteous. |
| 20Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: | 20The Law came in so that the transgression would increase; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, |
| 21That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. | 21so that, as sin reigned in death, even so grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. |
