- Chapter 5 -

1
Then being iustified by faith, we haue peace toward God through our Lord Iesus Christ.
2
By who also through faith, we haue had this accesse into this grace, wherein we stand, and reioyce vnder ye hope of the glory of God.
3
Neither that onely, but also we reioyce in tribulations, knowing that tribulation bringeth forth patience,
4
And patience experience, and experience hope,
5
And hope maketh not ashamed, because the loue of God is shed abroade in our heartes by the holy Ghost, which is giuen vnto vs.

Christ’s Sacrifice for the Ungodly

(John 3:1–21)
6
For Christ, when we were yet of no strength, at his time died for the vngodly.
7
Doutles one will scarce die for a righteous man: but yet for a good man it may be that one dare die.
8
But God setteth out his loue towards vs, seeing that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for vs.
9
Much more then, being now iustified by his blood, we shalbe saued from wrath through him.
10
For if when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Sonne, much more being reconciled, we shalbe saued by his life,
11
And not onely so, but we also reioyce in God through our Lord Iesus Christ, by whom we haue nowe receiued the atonement.

Death in Adam, Life in Christ

(Genesis 3:1–7)
12
Wherefore, as by one man sinne entred into ye world, and death by sinne, and so death went ouer all men: in who all men haue sinned.
13
For vnto the time of the Law was sinne in the worlde, but sinne is not imputed, while there is no lawe.
14
But death reigned from Adam to Moses, euen ouer them also that sinned not after the like maner of that transgression of Adam, which was the figure of him that was to come.
15
But yet the gift is not so, as is the offence: for if through the offence of that one, many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man Iesus Christ, hath abounded vnto many.
16
Neither is the gift so, as that which entred in by one that sinned: for the fault came of one offence vnto condemnation: but the gift is of many offences to iustification.
17
For if by the offence of one, death reigned through one, much more shall they which receiue that abundance of grace, and of that gift of that righteousnesse, reigne in life through one, that is, Iesus Christ.
18
Likewise then as by the offence of one, the fault came on all men to condemnation, so by the iustifying of one, the benefite abounded toward all men to the iustification of life.
19
For as by one mans disobedience many were made sinners, so by that obedience of that one shall many also be made righteous.
20
Moreouer the Law entred thereupon that the offence shoulde abound: neuerthelesse, where sinne abounded, there grace abounded much more:
21
That as sinne had reigned vnto death, so might grace also reigne by righteousnesse vnto eternall life, through Iesus Christ our Lord.
1
Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;
2
through whom we also have our access by faith into this grace in which we stand. We rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
3
Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces perseverance;
4
and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope;
5
and hope doesn’t disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

Christ’s Sacrifice for the Ungodly

(John 3:1–21)
6
For while we were yet weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.
7
For one will hardly die for a righteous man. Yet perhaps for a good person someone would even dare to die.
8
But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
9
Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we will be saved from God’s wrath through him.
10
For if while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we will be saved by his life.
11
Not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

Death in Adam, Life in Christ

(Genesis 3:1–7)
12
Therefore, as sin entered into the world through one man, and death through sin, so death passed to all men because all sinned.
13
For until the law, sin was in the world; but sin is not charged when there is no law.
14
Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those whose sins weren’t like Adam’s disobedience, who is a foreshadowing of him who was to come.
15
But the free gift isn’t like the trespass. For if by the trespass of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many.
16
The gift is not as through one who sinned; for the judgment came by one to condemnation, but the free gift followed many trespasses to justification.
17
For if by the trespass of the one, death reigned through the one; so much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Jesus Christ.
18
So then as through one trespass, all men were condemned; even so through one act of righteousness, all men were justified to life.
19
For as through the one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the one, many will be made righteous.
20
The law came in that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace abounded more exceedingly,
21
that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
