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 in which 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 works patience;
4. And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
5. And hope does not make us ashamed; because the love of God is poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit which is given to 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 perhaps for a good man some would even dare to die.
8. But God commends 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. Therefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, because all have sinned:
13. (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not counted when there is no law.
14. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned according to the likeness of Adam's transgression, who is the representative of him who was to come.
15. But not like the offense, so also is the free gift. For if through the offense of one many are dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, has abounded for many.
16. And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one offense to condemnation, but the free gift is after many offenses to justification.
17. For if by one man's offense death reigned by one; much more those who receive the 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 for justification and 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 has reigned leading to death, even so might grace reign through righteousness for eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
