Romans 5:6–19

5:7 For one will hardly die for a righteous man. Yet perhaps for a good person someone would even dare to die.

5:8 But God commends his own love towards us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we will be saved from God’s wrath through him.

5:10 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.

5:11 Not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

5:12 Therefore, as sin entered into the world through one man, and death through sin, so death passed to all men because all sinned.

5:13 For until the law, sin was in the world; but sin is not charged when there is no law.

5:14 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.

5:15 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.

5:16 The gift is not as through one who sinned; for the judgement came by one to condemnation, but the free gift followed many trespasses to justification.

5:17 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.

5:19 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.
