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. 12 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: 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 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. 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 of­fences unto jus­ti­fi­ca­tion. 17 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.) 18 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. 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 of­fence 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.
