1 Justificados, pois, mediante a fé, temos paz com Deus por meio de nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo; 2 por intermédio de quem obtivemos igualmente acesso, pela fé, a esta graça na qual estamos firmes; e gloriamo-nos na esperança da glória de Deus. 3 E não somente isto, mas também nos gloriamos nas próprias tribulações, sabendo que a tribulação produz perseverança; 4 e a perseverança, experiência; e a experiência, esperança. 5 Ora, a esperança não confunde, porque o amor de Deus é derramado em nosso coração pelo Espírito Santo, que nos foi outorgado.

6 Porque Cristo, quando nós ainda éramos fracos, morreu a seu tempo pelos ímpios. 7 Dificilmente, alguém morreria por um justo; pois poderá ser que pelo bom alguém se anime a morrer. 8 Mas Deus prova o seu próprio amor para conosco pelo fato de ter Cristo morrido por nós, sendo nós ainda pecadores. 9 Logo, muito mais agora, sendo justificados pelo seu sangue, seremos por ele salvos da ira. 10 Porque, se nós, quando inimigos, fomos reconciliados com Deus mediante a morte do seu Filho, muito mais, estando já reconciliados, seremos salvos pela sua vida; 11 e não apenas isto, mas também nos gloriamos em Deus por nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo, por intermédio de quem recebemos, agora, a reconciliação.

12 Portanto, assim como por um só homem entrou o pecado no mundo, e pelo pecado, a morte, assim também a morte passou a todos os homens, porque todos pecaram. 13 Porque até ao regime da lei havia pecado no mundo, mas o pecado não é levado em conta quando não há lei. 14 Entretanto, reinou a morte desde Adão até Moisés, mesmo sobre aqueles que não pecaram à semelhança da transgressão de Adão, o qual prefigurava aquele que havia de vir.

15 Todavia, não é assim o dom gratuito como a ofensa; porque, se, pela ofensa de um só, morreram muitos, muito mais a graça de Deus e o dom pela graça de um só homem, Jesus Cristo, foram abundantes sobre muitos. 16 O dom, entretanto, não é como no caso em que somente um pecou; porque o julgamento derivou de uma só ofensa, para a condenação; mas a graça transcorre de muitas ofensas, para a justificação. 17 Se, pela ofensa de um e por meio de um só, reinou a morte, muito mais os que recebem a abundância da graça e o dom da justiça reinarão em vida por meio de um só, a saber, Jesus Cristo. 18 Pois assim como, por uma só ofensa, veio o juízo sobre todos os homens para condenação, assim também, por um só ato de justiça, veio a graça sobre todos os homens para a justificação que dá vida. 19 Porque, como, pela desobediência de um só homem, muitos se tornaram pecadores, assim também, por meio da obediência de um só, muitos se tornarão justos. 20 Sobreveio a lei para que avultasse a ofensa; mas onde abundou o pecado, superabundou a graça, 21 a fim de que, como o pecado reinou pela morte, assim também reinasse a graça pela justiça para a vida eterna, mediante Jesus Cristo, nosso Senhor.

1 Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ; 2 through whom also we have had our access by faith into this grace wherein we stand; and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only so, but we also rejoice in our tribulations: knowing that tribulation worketh stedfastness; 4 and stedfastness, approvedness; and approvedness, hope: 5 and hope putteth not to shame; because the love of God hath been shed abroad in our hearts through the Holy Spirit which was given unto us. 6 For while we were yet weak, in due season Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: for peradventure for the good man some one would even dare to die. 8 But God commendeth 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, shall we be saved from the wrath of God through him. 10 For 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; 11 and not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

12 Therefore, as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin; and so death passed unto all men, for that all sinned:— 13 for until the law sin was in the world; but sin is not imputed when there is no law. 14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the likeness of Adam’s transgression, who is a figure of him that was to come. 15 But 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, Jesus Christ, abound unto the many. 16 And not as through one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment came of one unto condemnation, but the free gift came of many trespasses unto justification. 17 For if, by the trespass of the one, death reigned through the one; much more shall they that receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, even Jesus Christ. 18 So then as through one trespass the judgment came unto all men to condemnation; even so through one act of righteousness the free gift came unto all men to justification of life. 19 For 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. 20 And the law came in besides, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace did abound more exceedingly: 21 that, as sin reigned in death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

1 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we "have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we "boast in the hope of the glory of God.

3 Not only so, but we "also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance;

4 perseverance, character; and character, hope.

5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

6 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.

7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die.

8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

9 Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him!

10 For if, while we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!

11 Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned —

13 To be sure, sin was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not charged against anyone's account where there is no law.

14 Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who is a pattern of the one to come.

15 But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God's grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many!

16 Nor can the gift of God be compared with the result of one man's sin: The judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation, but the gift followed many trespasses and brought justification.

17 For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God's abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!

18 Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people, so also one righteous act resulted in justification and life for all people.

19 For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.

20 The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more,

21 so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
