Chapter 5· Book VI of 27
1Verse 1. Open verse actions.Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ; 2Verse 2. Open verse actions.through whom we also have our access by faith into this grace in which we stand. We rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3Verse 3. Open verse actions.Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces perseverance; 4Verse 4. Open verse actions.and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope: 5Verse 5. Open verse actions.and hope doesn’t disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us. 6Verse 6. Open verse actions.For while we were yet weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. 7Verse 7. Open verse actions.For one will hardly die for a righteous man. Yet perhaps for a righteous person someone would even dare to die. 8Verse 8. Open verse actions.But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9Verse 9. Open verse actions.Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we will be saved from God’s wrath through him. 10Verse 10. Open verse actions.For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we will be saved by his life. 11Verse 11. Open verse actions.Not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation. 12Verse 12. Open verse actions.Therefore as sin entered into the world through one man, and death through sin; and so death passed to all men, because all sinned. 13Verse 13. Open verse actions.For until the law, sin was in the world; but sin is not charged when there is no law. 14Verse 14. Open verse actions.Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those whose sins weren’t like Adam’s disobedience, who is a foreshadowing of him who was to come. 15Verse 15. Open verse actions.But the free gift isn’t like the trespass. For if by the trespass 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. 16Verse 16. Open verse actions.The gift is not as through one who sinned: for the judgment came by one to condemnation, but the free gift came of many trespasses to justification. 17Verse 17. Open verse actions.For if by the trespass of the one, death reigned through the one; so much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Jesus Christ. 18Verse 18. Open verse actions.So then as through one trespass, all men were condemned; even so through one act of righteousness, all men were justified to life. 19Verse 19. Open verse actions.For as through the one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the one, many will be made righteous. 20Verse 20. Open verse actions.The law came in besides, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace abounded more exceedingly; 21Verse 21. Open verse actions.that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
