Romans 5

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Therefore, having been justified by faith, let us be at peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ.	1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
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.	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 that, but we also find glory in tribulation, knowing that tribulation exercises patience,	3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
4 and patience leads to proving, yet truly proving leads to hope,	4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
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.	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 Yet why did Christ, while we were still infirm, at the proper time, suffer death for the impious?	6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
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.	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 demonstrates his love for us in that, while we were yet sinners, at the proper time,	8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
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.	9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
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.	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 that, but we also glory in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.	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, 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.	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 even before the law, sin was in the world, but sin was not imputed while the law did not exist.	13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
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.	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 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.	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 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.	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 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.	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, 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.	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, 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.	19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
20 Now the law entered in such a way that offenses would abound. But where offenses were abundant, grace was superabundant.	20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
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.	21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
