Dual Panel1Therefore, [because we] have been declared righteous by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
2through whom also we have [obtained] access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we boast in the hope of the glory of God.
3And not only [this], but we also boast in our afflictions, [because we] know that affliction produces patient endurance,
4and patient endurance, proven character, and proven character, hope,
5and hope does not disappoint, 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 still helpless, yet at the proper time Christ died for the ungodly.
7For only rarely will someone die on behalf of a righteous person (for on behalf of a good person possibly someone might even dare to die),
8but God demonstrates his own love for us, [in] that [while] we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
9Therefore, by much more, [because we] have been declared righteous now by his blood, we will be saved through him from the wrath.
10For if, [while we] were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, by much more, having been reconciled, we will be saved by his life.
11And not only [this], but also [we are] boasting in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.
12Because of this, just as sin entered into the world through one man, and death through sin, so also death spread to all people because all sinned.
13For until the law, sin was in the world, but sin is not charged to one’s account [when there] is no law.
14But death reigned from Adam until Moses even over those who did not sin in the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of the one who is to come.
15_But the gift is not like the trespass_ , for if by the trespass of the one, the many died, by much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, multiply to the many.
16And the gift [is] not as through the one who sinned, for on the one hand, judgment from the one [sin] [led] to condemnation, but the gift, from many trespasses, [led] to justification.
17For if by the trespass of the one [man], death reigned through the one [man], much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Jesus Christ.
18Consequently therefore, as through one trespass [came] condemnation to all people, so also through one righteous deed [came] justification of life to all people.
19For just as through the disobedience of the one man, the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one, the many will be made righteous.
20Now the law came in as a side issue, in order that the trespass could increase, but where sin increased, grace was present in greater abundance,
21so that just as sin reigned in death, so also grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
