| 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 . |
