Romans 5
Results of
Justification |
1 |
Therefore being justified by faith, we
have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
|
2 |
by whom also we have access by faith into
this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of
God.
|
3 |
And not only so, but we glory in
tribulations also; knowing that tribulation worketh
patience;
|
4 |
and patience, experience; and experience,
hope:
|
5 |
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.
|
6 |
For when we were yet without strength,
in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
|
7 |
For scarcely for a righteous man will one
die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to
die.
|
8 |
But God commendeth his love toward us, in
that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
|
9 |
Much more then, being now justified by
his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
|
10 |
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.
|
11 |
And not only so, but we also joy
in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received
the atonement.

Adam and
Christ |
12 |
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered
into the world, and death by sin; Gen. 2.17 ; 3.6 and so
death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
|
13 |
(for until the law sin was in the world:
but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
|
14 |
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.
|
15 |
But not as the offense, so also is the free gift: for if through the offense 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.
|
16 |
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 offenses unto
justification.
|
17 |
For if by one man's offense 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.)
|
18 |
Therefore, as by the offense 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.
|
19 |
For as by one man's disobedience many
were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made
righteous.
|
20 |
Moreover the law entered, that the
offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more
abound:
|
21 |
that as sin hath reigned unto death, even
so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by
Jesus Christ our Lord.
