Chapter 5

  Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:  

--

  By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.  

--

  And not only [so], but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;  

--

  And patience, experience; and experience, hope:  

--

  And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.  

--

  For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.  

--

  For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.  

--

  But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.  

--

  Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.  

--

  For 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.  

--

  And not only [so], but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.  

--

  Wherefore, 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:  

--

  (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.  

--

  Nevertheless 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.  

--

  But 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.  

--

  And 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.  

--

  For 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.)  

--

  Therefore 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.  

--

  For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.  

--

  Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:  

--

  That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
