1 For which reason, because we have righteousness through faith, let us be at peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;2 Through whom, in the same way, we have been able by faith to come to this grace in which we now are; and let us have joy in hope of the glory of God.3 And not only so, but let us have joy in our troubles: in the knowledge that trouble gives us the power of waiting;4 And waiting gives experience; and experience, hope:5 And hope does not put to shame; because our hearts are full of the love of God through the Holy Spirit which is given to us.6 For when we were still without strength, at the right time Christ gave his life for evil-doers.7 Now it is hard for anyone to give his life even for an upright man, though it might be that for a good man someone would give his life.8 But God has made clear his love to us, in that, when we were still sinners, Christ gave his life for us.9 Much more, if we now have righteousness by his blood, will salvation from the wrath of God come to us through him.10 For if, when we were haters of God, the death of his Son made us at peace with him, much more, now that we are his friends, will we have salvation through his life;11 And not only so, but we have joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we are now at peace with God.12 For this reason, as through one man sin came into the world, and death because of sin, and so death came to all men, because all have done evil:13 Because, till the law came, sin was in existence, but sin is not put to the account of anyone when there is no law to be broken.14 But still death had power from Adam till Moses, even over those who had not done wrong like Adam, who is a picture of him who was to come.15 But the free giving of God is not like the wrongdoing of man. For if, by the wrongdoing of one man death came to numbers of men, much more did the grace of God, and the free giving by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, come to men.16 And the free giving has not the same effect as the sin of one: for the effect of one man's sin was punishment by the decision of God, but the free giving had power to give righteousness to wrongdoers in great number.17 For, if by the wrongdoing of one, death was ruling through the one, much more will those to whom has come the wealth of grace and the giving of righteousness, be ruling in life through the one, even Jesus Christ.18 So then, as the effect of one act of wrongdoing was that punishment came on all men, even so the effect of one act of righteousness was righteousness of life for all men.19 Because, as numbers of men became sinners through the wrongdoing of one man, even so will great numbers get righteousness through the keeping of the word of God by one man.20 And the law came in addition, to make wrongdoing worse; but where there was much sin, there was much more grace:21 That, as sin had power in death, so grace might have power through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

1 Justificati ergo ex fide, pacem habeamus ad Deum per Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum : 2 per quem et habemus accessum per fidem in gratiam istam, in qua stamus, et gloriamur in spe gloriæ filiorum Dei. 3 Non solum autem, sed et gloriamur in tribulationibus : scientes quod tribulatio patientiam operatur : 4 patientia autem probationem, probatio vero spem, 5 spes autem non confundit : quia caritas Dei diffusa est in cordibus nostris per Spiritum Sanctum, qui datus est nobis. 6 Ut quid enim Christus, cum adhuc infirmi essemus, secundum tempus, pro impiis mortuus est ? 7 vix enim pro justo quis moritur : nam pro bono forsitan quis audeat mori. 8 Commendat autem caritatem suam Deus in nobis : quoniam cum adhuc peccatores essemus, secundum tempus, 9 Christus pro nobis mortuus est : multo igitur magis nunc justificati in sanguine ipsius, salvi erimus ab ira per ipsum. 10 Si enim cum inimici essemus, reconciliati sumus Deo per mortem filii ejus : multo magis reconciliati, salvi erimus in vita ipsius. 11 Non solum autem : sed et gloriamur in Deo per Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum, per quem nunc reconciliationem accepimus.12 Propterea sicut per unum hominem peccatum in hunc mundum intravit, et per peccatum mors, et ita in omnes homines mors pertransiit, in quo omnes peccaverunt. 13 Usque ad legem enim peccatum erat in mundo : peccatum autem non imputabatur, cum lex non esset. 14 Sed regnavit mors ab Adam usque ad Moysen etiam in eos qui non peccaverunt in similitudinem prævaricationis Adæ, qui est forma futuri. 15 Sed non sicut delictum, ita et donum : si enim unius delicto multi mortui sunt : multo magis gratia Dei et donum in gratia unius hominis Jesu Christi in plures abundavit. 16 Et non sicut per unum peccatum, ita et donum. Nam judicium quidem ex uno in condemnationem : gratia autem ex multis delictis in justificationem. 17 Si enim unius delicto mors regnavit per unum : multo magis abundantiam gratiæ, et donationis, et justitiæ accipientes, in vita regnabunt per unum Jesum Christum. 18 Igitur sicut per unius delictum in omnes homines in condemnationem : sic et per unius justitiam in omnes homines in justificationem vitæ. 19 Sicut enim per inobedientiam unius hominis, peccatores constituti sunt multi : ita et per unius obeditionem, justi constituentur multi. 20 Lex autem subintravit ut abundaret delictum. Ubi autem abundavit delictum, superabundavit gratia : 21 ut sicut regnavit peccatum in mortem : ita et gratia regnet per justitiam in vitam æternam, per Jesum Christum Dominum nostrum.
