Romans 5

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,	1 Therefore, having been justified by faith, let us be at peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ.
2 through whom we have gained access (by faith) to this grace in which we stand, and we boast in hope of the glory of God.	2 For through him we also have access by faith to this grace, in which we stand firm, and to glory, in the hope of the glory of the sons of God.
3 Not only that, but we even boast of our afflictions, knowing that affliction produces endurance,	3 And not only that, but we also find glory in tribulation, knowing that tribulation exercises patience,
4 and endurance, proven character, and proven character, hope,	4 and patience leads to proving, yet truly proving leads to hope,
5 and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts through the holy Spirit that has been given to us.	5 but hope is not unfounded, because the love of God is poured forth in our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
6 For Christ, while we were still helpless, yet died at the appointed time for the ungodly.	6 Yet why did Christ, while we were still infirm, at the proper time, suffer death for the impious?
7 Indeed, only with difficulty does one die for a just person, though perhaps for a good person one might even find courage to die.	7 Now someone might barely be willing to die for the sake of justice, for example, perhaps someone might dare to die for the sake of a good man.
8 But God proves his love for us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us.	8 But God demonstrates his love for us in that, while we were yet sinners, at the proper time,
9 How much more then, since we are now justified by his blood, will we be saved through him from the wrath.	9 Christ died for us. Therefore, having been justified now by his blood, all the more so shall we be saved from wrath through him.
10 Indeed, if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, how much more, once reconciled, will we be saved by his life.	10 For if we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, while we were still enemies, all the more so, having been reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.
11 Not only that, but we also boast of God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.	11 And not only that, but we also glory in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
12 Therefore, just as through one person sin entered the world, and through sin, death, and thus death came to all, inasmuch as all sinned --	12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into this world, and through sin, death; so also death was transferred to all men, to all who have sinned.
13 for up to the time of the law, sin was in the world, though sin is not accounted when there is no law.	13 For even before the law, sin was in the world, but sin was not imputed while the law did not exist.
14 But death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who did not sin after the pattern of the trespass of Adam, who is the type of the one who was to come.	14 Yet death reigned from Adam until Moses, even in those who have not sinned, in the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a figure of him who was to come.
15 But the gift is not like the transgression. For if by that one person's transgression the many died, how much more did the grace of God and the gracious gift of the one person Jesus Christ overflow for the many.	15 But the gift is not entirely like the offense. For though by the offense of one, many died, yet much more so, by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, has the grace and gift of God abounded to many.
16 And the gift is not like the result of the one person's sinning. For after one sin there was the judgment that brought condemnation; but the gift, after many transgressions, brought acquittal.	16 And the sin through one is not entirely like the gift. For certainly, the judgment of one was unto condemnation, but the grace toward many offenses is unto justification.
17 For if, by the transgression of one person, death came to reign through that one, how much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of justification come to reign in life through the one person Jesus Christ.	17 For though, by the one offense, death reigned through one, yet so much more so shall those who receive an abundance of grace, both of the gift and of justice, reign in life through the one Jesus Christ.
18 In conclusion, just as through one transgression condemnation came upon all, so through one righteous act acquittal and life came to all.	18 Therefore, just as through the offense of one, all men fell under condemnation, so also through the justice of one, all men fall under justification unto life.
19 For just as through the disobedience of one person the many were made sinners, so through the obedience of one the many will be made righteous.	19 For, just as through the disobedience of one man, many were established as sinners, so also through the obedience of one man, many shall be established as just.
20 The law entered in so that transgression might increase but, where sin increased, grace overflowed all the more,	20 Now the law entered in such a way that offenses would abound. But where offenses were abundant, grace was superabundant.
21 so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through justification for eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.	21 So then, just as sin has reigned unto death, so also may grace reign through justice unto eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
