1Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Yeshua Messiah; 2through whom also we have had our access by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3And not only so, but we also rejoice in our tribulations: knowing that tribulation works steadfastness; 4and steadfastness, proven character; and proven character, hope: 5and hope does not put to shame; because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us. 6For while we were yet weak, in due season Messiah died for the ungodly. 7For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: for perhaps for the good man someone would even dare to die. 8But God commends his own love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Messiah died for us. 9Much more then, being now justified by his blood, shall we be saved from the wrath of God through him. 10For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, shall we be saved by his life; 11and not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Yeshua Messiah, through whom we have now received the reconciliation. 12Therefore, as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin; and so death passed to all men, because all sinned:— 13for until the Torah sin was in the world; but sin is not imputed when there is no law. 14Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who had not sinned after the likeness of Adam’s transgression, who is a figure of him who was to come. 15But not as the trespass, so also is the free gift. 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, Yeshua Messiah, abound to the many. 16And not as through one who sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment came of one to condemnation, but the free gift came of many trespasses to justification. 17For if, by the trespass of the one, death reigned through the one; much more shall those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, even Yeshua Messiah. 18So then as through one trespass the judgment came to all men to condemnation; even so through one act of righteousness the free gift came to all men to justification of life. 19For as through the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the one shall the many be made righteous. 20And the Torah came in besides, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace abounded much more: 21that, as sin reigned in death, even so might grace reign through righteousness to eternal life through Yeshua Messiah our Lord.
