Romans 5

Therefore ^abeing justified by faith, we have ^bpeace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: ²by whom also ^cwe have access by faith into this grace ^dwherein we stand, and ^erejoice in hope of the glory of God. ^3fAnd not only so, but ^gwe ^eglory in tribulations also: ^hknowing that tribulation worketh patience; ⁴and patience, ⁱexperience; and ⁱexperience, hope: ⁵and ^jhope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God ^kis shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. ⁶For when we were yet without strength, in due time ^lChrist 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. ⁸But God ^mcommendeth ⁿhis love toward us, in that, ^owhile we were yet sinners, ^lChrist died for us. ⁹Much more then, being now justified ^oby his blood, ^pwe shall be saved from wrath through him. ¹⁰For if, ^qwhen we were enemies, ^rwe were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by ^shis life. ^11fAnd not only so, but we also ^ejoy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

¹²Wherefore, as ^tby one man sin entered into the world, and ^udeath by sin; and so death passed upon ^zall men, ^vfor that all have sinned: ¹³for until the law sin was in the world: but ^wsin 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 ^xAdam’s transgression, ^ywho is the figure of him that was to come. ¹⁵But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one ^zmany be dead, much more ^athe grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto ^zbmany. 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 ^cjustification. 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. ¹⁸Therefore as by ^dthe offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by ^dthe ^crighteousness of one the free gift came upon ^zeall men unto ^fjustification of life. ¹⁹For as by one man’s disobedience ^zmany were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall ^bzmany be made righteous. ²⁰Moreover ^gthe law ^hentered, that the offence might abound. But ⁱwhere sin abounded, ^jgrace did much more abound: ²¹that as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might ^kgrace reign through righteousness unto ^leternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
