¹ Therefore being justified because of belief, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, ² through whom we have, by this belief, obtained access to this favour in which we stand and boast in a hope of the glory of God. ³ And not only so, but we boast also in our tribulations, as we know that tribulation operateth to produce patience; ⁴ and patience, a proof; and proof, a hope; ⁵ and this hope will not shame us, because the love of God is diffused through our hearts by a Holy Spirit, which is given us. ⁶ For while we were yet without strength, Christ In due time died for the ungodly: ⁷ for scarcely will any one die for a just man; though perhaps for the good some one may even flare to die: ⁸ but God confirmeth his love for us, because while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. ⁹ Much more therefore shall we, being now acquitted by his blood, be saved by him from the wrath; ¹⁰ For if we, when enemies, were reconciled to God by the death of his son, much more shall we, being reconciled, be saved by his life. ¹¹ And not only so. but we also boast in God. through out Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now obtained this reconciliation, ¹² on this account; as sin entered into this world by one man, and death by sin, and so death for which all sinned passed through unto all men: ¹³ for there was sin in the world until the law: now sin is not placed to account where there is no law; ¹⁴ but death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them who had not sinned after the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of him who was to come: ¹⁵ but the free gift is not as the transgression; for if for the transgression of the one, the many died; much more hath the favour of God, and the free gift by the favour of the other man, Jesus Christ, superabounded to the many: ¹⁶ nor is this free gift as in the case when one sinned" for the sentence was a condemnation for one offence, but the ¹⁷ free gift is an acquittal from many transgressions. For if for the offence of the one, death reigned by that one; much more shall they who receive the superabundance of this favour and of the free gift of this acquittal, reign in life by the other, namely Jesus Christ. ¹⁸ Therefore as by one transgression there was a sentence of condemnation for all men; so by one acquittal there is an adjudication of life for all men. ¹⁹ For as by the disobedience of the one man, the many were ranked as sinners, so also by the obedience of the other man, the many will be ranked as righteous. ²⁰ Now the law came in a little way, so that transgression abounded, but where sin abounded, favour superabounded, ²¹ that as sin had reigned by death, so favour might reign by means' of a justification for everlasting life, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
