LO - Romans - 5

5:1  Wherefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ--

5:2  through whom we have had introduction, also, by faith, into this favor in which we stand, and rejoice in the hope of the glory of God:

5:3  and not only so, but we rejoice even in afflictions; knowing that affliction produces patience;

5:4  and patience, approbation; and approbation, hope.

5:5  And this hope makes not ashamed: because the love of God is diffused in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, that is given us.

5:6  Besides, we being yet weak, in the appointed time Christ died for the ungodly.

5:7  Now, scarcely for a just man will one die, though for a good man one would, perhaps, even dare to die.

5:8  But God recommends his love to us; because, while we were yet sinner, Christ died for us.

5:9  Much more, then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

5:10  For if, being enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son; much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

5:11  And not only so, but we even rejoice in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, though whom we have now received reconciliation.

5:12  Wherefore, as sin entered into the world by one man, in whom all sinned, and by sin, death: thus death came upon all men.

5:13  (For sin was in the world until the law: but sin is not imputed, when there is no law.

5:14  Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them who had not sinned, in the manner of Adam's transgression, who is a type of him that was to come.

5:15  But not as the offense, so also is the free gift: for if by the offense of the one, the many died; much more the favor of God, and the gift by favor, which is of the one man, Jesus Christ, has abounded to the many.

5:16  And not as through one who sinner, is the free gift: for the sentence was from one to condemnation; but the free gift is from many offenses to justification.

5:17  For if by the offense of the one, death reigned by the one; much more shall they who receive the abundance of favor, and of the gift of justification, reign in life, by the one--Jesus Christ.)

5:18  Now, therefore, as through one offense, the sentence came upon all men to condemnation: so, also, by one act of obedience, the sentence came upon all men to justification of life.

5:19  For, as through the disobedience of the one, the many were constituted sinners; so, by the obedience of the one, the many shall be constituted righteous.

5:20  Moreover, the law supervened, that the offense might abound; but where sin abounded, favor superabounded--

5:21  that as sin reigned by death, so, also, favor might reign by justification to eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
