CHAPTER 5
Therefore,
since we have been justified
through
faith,
we have
peace
with
God
through
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
through
whom
we have gained
access
by
faith
into
this
grace
in
which
we stand;
and
we exult
in
the hope
of the
glory
of God.
Not
only
that,
but
we also rejoice
in
our
sufferings,
because we know
that
suffering
produces
perseverance;
And
hope
does not disappoint us,
because
God
has poured out
His
love
into
our
hearts
through
the Holy
Spirit,
whom
He has given
us.
It is rare
indeed
for anyone
to die
for
a righteous man,
though
for
a good man
someone
might possibly
dare
to die.
Therefore,
since we have now been justified
by
His
blood,
how much
more
shall we be saved
from
wrath
through
Him!
For
if,
when we were
enemies of God,
we were reconciled
to Him
through
the
death
of
His
Son,
how much
more,
having been reconciled,
shall we be saved
through
His
life!
Not
only
that,
but
we also rejoice
in
God
through
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
through
whom
we have now received
reconciliation.
Therefore,
just as
sin
entered
the
world
through
one
man,
and
death
through
sin,
so
also
death
was passed on
to
all
men,
because
all
sinned.
For
sin
was
in
the world
before
the Law was given;
but
sin
is not taken into account
when there is
no
law.
Nevertheless,
death
reigned
from
Adam
until
Moses,
even
over
those who
did not sin
in
the
way that
Adam
transgressed.
He
is
a pattern
of the
One to come.
But
the
gift
is not
like
the
trespass.
For
if
the
many
died
by the
trespass
of the
one man,
how much
more
did
God’s
grace
and
the
gift
that came by
the grace
of the
one
man,
Jesus
Christ,
abound
to
the
many!
Again,
the
gift
is not
like
the result of
the one man’s
sin:
The
judgment
that followed
one sin
brought
condemnation,
but
the
gift
that followed
many
trespasses
brought
justification.
For
if,
by the
trespass
of the
one man,
death
reigned
through
that
one man,
how much
more
will those who
receive
an abundance
of grace
and
of the
gift
of righteousness
reign
in
life
through
the
one man,
Jesus
Christ!
Therefore,
just as
one
trespass
brought
condemnation
for
all
men,
so
also
one
act of righteousness
brought
justification
and life
for
all
men.
For just as
through
the
disobedience
of the
one
man
the
many
were made
sinners,
so
also
through
the
obedience
of the
one man
the
many
will be made
righteous.
The Law
was given
so that
the
trespass
would increase;
but
where
sin
increased,
grace
increased all the more,
so that,
just as
sin
reigned
in
death,
so
also
grace
might reign
through
righteousness,
to bring
eternal
life
through
Jesus
Christ
our
Lord.
