Romans 5

NEW JERUSALEM	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 So then, now that we have been justified by faith, we are at peace with God through our Lord JesusChrist;	1 Being justified therefore by faith, let us have peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ:
2 it is through him, by faith, that we have been admitted into God's favour in which we are living, andlook forward exultantly to God's glory.	2 By whom also we have access through faith into this grace, wherein we stand, and glory in the hope of the glory of the sons of God.
3 Not only that; let us exult, too, in our hardships, understanding that hardship develops perseverance,	3 And not only so; but we glory also in tribulations, knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
4 and perseverance develops a tested character, something that gives us hope,	4 And patience trial; and trial hope;
5 and a hope which will not let us down, because the love of God has been poured into our hearts by theHoly Spirit which has been given to us.	5 And hope confoundeth not: because the charity of God is poured forth in our hearts, by the Holy Ghost, who is given to us.
6 When we were stil helpless, at the appointed time, Christ died for the godless.	6 For why did Christ, when as yet we were weak, according to the time, die for the ungodly?
7 You could hardly find anyone ready to die even for someone upright; though it is just possible that, fora real y good person, someone might undertake to die.	7 For scarce for a just man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man some one would dare to die.
8 So it is proof of God's own love for us, that Christ died for us while we were stil sinners.	8 But God commendeth his charity towards us; because when as yet we were sinners, according to the time,
9 How much more can we be sure, therefore, that, now that we have been justified by his death, we shalbe saved through him from the retribution of God.	9 Christ died for us; much more therefore, being now justified by his blood, shall we be saved from wrath through him.
10 For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, how muchmore can we be sure that, being now reconciled, we shal be saved by his life.	10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son; much more, being reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.
11 What is more, we are filled with exultant trust in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whomwe have already gained our reconciliation.	11 And not only so; but also we glory in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received reconciliation.
12 Wel then; it was through one man that sin came into the world, and through sin death, and thus deathhas spread through the whole human race because everyone has sinned.	12 Wherefore as by one man sin entered into this world, and by sin death; and so death passed upon all men, in whom all have sinned.
13 Sin already existed in the world before there was any law, even though sin is not reckoned whenthere is no law.	13 For until the law sin was in the world; but sin was not imputed, when the law was not.
14 Nonetheless death reigned over al from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sin was not thebreaking of a commandment, as Adam's was. He prefigured the One who was to come . . .	14 But death reigned from Adam unto Moses, even over them also who have not sinned after the similitude of the transgression of Adam, who is a figure of him who was to come.
15 There is no comparison between the free gift and the offence. If death came to many through theoffence of one man, how much greater an effect the grace of God has had, coming to so many and so plentiful yas a free gift through the one man Jesus Christ!	15 But not as the offence, so also the gift. For if by the offence of one, many died; much more the grace of God, and the gift, by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
16 Again, there is no comparison between the gift and the offence of one man. One single offencebrought condemnation, but now, after many offences, have come the free gift and so acquittal!	16 And not as it was by one sin, so also is the gift. For judgment indeed was by one unto condemnation; but grace is of many offences, unto justification.
17 It was by one man's offence that death came to reign over all, but how much greater the reign in lifeof those who receive the ful ness of grace and the gift of saving justice, through the one man, Jesus Christ.	17 For if by one man's offence death reigned through one; much more they who receive abundance of grace, and of the gift, and of justice, shall reign in life through one, Jesus Christ.
18 One man's offence brought condemnation on al humanity; and one man's good act has broughtjustification and life to all humanity.	18 Therefore, as by the offence of one, unto all men to condemnation; so also by the justice of one, unto all men to justification of life.
19 Just as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by one man's obedience are manyto be made upright.	19 For as by the disobedience of one man, many were made sinners; so also by the obedience of one, many shall be made just.
20 When law came on the scene, it was to multiply the offences. But however much sin increased, gracewas always greater;	20 Now the law entered in, that sin might abound. And where sin abounded, grace did more abound.
21 so that as sin's reign brought death, so grace was to rule through saving justice that leads to eternallife through Jesus Christ our Lord.	21 That as sin hath reigned to death; so also grace might reign by justice unto life everlasting, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
