25WHO WAS DELIVERED OVER FOR THE TRESPASSES OF US AND WAS RAISED FOR THE JUSTIFICATION OF US. 25He was delivered over to death for our trespasses and was raised to life for our justification.
1HAVING BEEN JUSTIFIED THEREFORE BY FAITH PEACE WE HAVE WITH <THE> GOD THROUGH THE LORD OF US JESUS CHRIST, The Triumph of Faith 1Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have*NoteCloseOr let us have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
2THROUGH WHOM ALSO <THE> ACCESS WE HAVE HAD <THE> BY FAITH INTO <THE> GRACE THIS IN WHICH WE HAVE STOOD, AND WE BOAST IN HOPE OF THE GLORY <THE> OF GOD. 2through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we stand. And we rejoice*NoteCloseOr exult; also in verses 3 and 11 in the hope of the glory of God.
3NOT ONLY [SO] NOW, BUT ALSO WE GLORY IN <THE> TRIBULATIONS KNOWING THAT <THE> TRIBULATION PERSEVERANCE PRODUCES, 3Not only that, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance;
4<THE> AND PERSEVERANCE CHARACTER, <THE> AND CHARACTER HOPE; 4perseverance, character; and character, hope.
5<THE> AND HOPE NOT DOES MAKE [US] ASHAMED, BECAUSE THE LOVE <THE> OF GOD HAS BEEN POURED OUT INTO THE HEARTS OF US THROUGH [THE] SPIRIT HOLY THE [ONE] HAVING BEEN GIVEN TO US. 5And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us.
6YET FOR CHRIST BEING OF US WITHOUT STRENGTH STILL ACCORDING TO [THE] RIGHT TIME FOR [THE] UNGODLY DIED; Christ’s Sacrifice for the Ungodly (John 3:1–21) 6For at just the right time, while we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.
7RARELY INDEED FOR A RIGHTEOUS [MAN] ANYONE WILL DIE, ON BEHALF OF THOUGH THE GOOD [MAN] PERHAPS SOMEONE EVEN WOULD DARE TO DIE; 7Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die.
8DEMONSTRATES HOWEVER THE HIS OWN LOVE TO US <THE> GOD, THAT STILL SINNERS WHEN BEING WE CHRIST FOR US DIED. 8But God proves His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
9MUCH THEREFORE MORE HAVING BEEN JUSTIFIED NOW BY THE BLOOD OF HIM WE WILL BE SAVED THROUGH HIM FROM THE WRATH! 9Therefore, since we have now been justified by His blood, how much more shall we be saved from wrath through Him!
10IF FOR ENEMIES BEING WE WERE RECONCILED <THE> TO GOD THROUGH THE DEATH OF THE SON OF HIM, MUCH MORE HAVING BEEN RECONCILED WILL WE BE SAVED IN THE LIFE OF HIM! 10For if, when we were enemies of God, we were reconciled to Him through the death of His Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through His life!
11NOT ONLY [SO] NOW, BUT ALSO WE ARE REJOICING IN <THE> GOD THROUGH THE LORD OF US JESUS CHRIST THROUGH WHOM NOW THE RECONCILIATION WE HAVE RECEIVED. 11Not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
12BECAUSE OF THIS JUST AS THROUGH ONE MAN <THE> SIN INTO THE WORLD ENTERED AND THROUGH <THE> SIN <THE> DEATH, ALSO THUS TO ALL MEN <THE> DEATH PASSED, FOR THAT ALL SINNED; Death in Adam, Life in Christ (Genesis 3:1–7) 12Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, so also death was passed on to all men, because all sinned.
13UNTIL FOR [THE] LAW SIN WAS IN [THE] WORLD, SIN HOWEVER NOT IS IMPUTED NOT THERE BEING LAW; 13For sin was in the world before the law was given; but sin is not taken into account when there is no law.
14NEVERTHELESS REIGNED <THE> DEATH FROM ADAM UNTIL MOSES EVEN OVER THOSE NOT HAVING SINNED IN THE LIKENESS OF THE TRANSGRESSION OF ADAM WHO IS A TYPE OF THE COMING [ONE]. 14Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who did not sin in the way that Adam transgressed. He is a pattern of the One to come.
15BUT [IS] NOT LIKE THE TRESPASS SO ALSO THE GIFT. IF FOR BY THE OF THE ONE TRESPASS THE MANY DIED, HOW MUCH MORE THE GRACE <THE> OF GOD AND THE GIFT IN GRACE WHICH [IS] OF THE ONE MAN JESUS CHRIST TO THE MANY DID ABOUND! 15But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many!
16AND [IS] NOT AS THROUGH ONE HAVING SINNED THE GIFT; THAT INDEED FOR JUDGMENT [WAS] OF ONE [WAS] UNTO CONDEMNATION, <THE> HOWEVER THE GIFT [IS] OUT OF MANY TRESPASSES UNTO JUSTIFICATION. 16Again, the gift is not like the result of the one man’s sin: The judgment that followed one sin brought condemnation, but the gift that followed many trespasses brought justification.
17IF FOR BY THE OF THE ONE TRESPASS <THE> DEATH REIGNED THROUGH THE ONE, HOW MUCH MORE THOSE THE EXCESS <THE> OF GRACE AND OF THE GIFT <THE> OF RIGHTEOUSNESS RECEIVING IN LIFE WILL REIGN THROUGH THE ONE JESUS CHRIST! 17For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!
18SO THEN JUST AS THROUGH ONE TRESPASS TO ALL MEN [IT IS] UNTO CONDEMNATION, SO ALSO THROUGH ONE ACT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS TO ALL MEN [IT IS] UNTO JUSTIFICATION OF LIFE. 18So then, just as one trespass brought condemnation for all men, so also one act of righteousness brought justification and life for all men.
19FOR AS FOR THROUGH THE DISOBEDIENCE OF THE ONE MAN SINNERS WERE MADE THE MANY, SO ALSO THROUGH THE OBEDIENCE OF THE ONE RIGHTEOUS WILL BE MADE THE MANY. 19For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.
20[THE] LAW NOW ENTERED, SO THAT MAY ABOUND THE TRESPASS; WHERE HOWEVER ABOUNDED <THE> SIN, OVERABOUNDED <THE> GRACE, 20The law came in so that the trespass would increase; but where sin increased, grace increased all the more,
21SO THAT JUST AS REIGNED THE SIN IN <THE> DEATH, SO ALSO <THE> GRACE MAY REIGN THROUGH RIGHTEOUSNESS UNTO LIFE ETERNAL THROUGH JESUS CHRIST THE LORD OF US. 21so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
