Romans 5

1 He declareth the fruit of faith, 7 And by comparison sets forth the love of God and obedience of Christ, which is the foundation and ground of the same.
1.Then being justified by faith, we have apeace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
2.*By whom also we have access through faith unto this grace, wherein we stand, and rejoice under the hope of the glory of God.
3.Neither do we so only, but also we *rejoice in tribulations, knowing that tribulation bringeth forth patience,
4.And patience experience, and experience hope,
5.And hope maketh not bashamed, because the clove of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the holie Ghost, which is given unto us.
6.For Christ, when we were yet of no strength, at his time, died for the *ungodly.
7.Doubtless one will scarce die for a drighteous man: but yet for a egood man it may be that one dare die.
8.But God setteth out his love toward us, seeing that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
9.Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shalbe saved from wrath through him.
10.For if when we were fenemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more being reconciled, we shalbe saved by his life.
11.And not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
12.Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin, and so death went over all men: forasmuch as all men have sinned.
13.For unto the gtime of the Law was sin in the world, but sin is not imputed, while there is no Law.
14.But death reigned from Adam to Moses even over them also that sinned not hafter the like manner of the transgression of iAdam, which was the figure of khim that was to come.
15.But yet the gift is not so, as is the offence: 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.Neither is the gift so, as that which entered in by one that sinned: for the fault came of one offence unto condemnation: but the gift is lof many offences to justification.
17.For if by the offence of one, death reigned through one, much more shall they which receive the abundance of grace, and of the gift of mrighteousness, reign in life through one, that is Jesus Christ.
18.Likewise then as by the offence of one the fault came on all men to condemnation, so by the justifying of one the benefit abounded toward nall men to the justification of life.
19.For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many also be made righteous.
20.Moreover the oLaw entered thereupon that the offence should pabound: nevertheless where sin abounded, there grace abounded much more:
21.That as sin had reigned unto death, so might grace also reign by righteousness unto eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
