1 所以， 我们既然因信称义， 就借着我们的主耶稣基督与 神和好；
2 我们也凭着信， 借着他可以进入现在所站的这恩典中， 并且以盼望得享 神的荣耀为荣。
3 不但这样， 我们更以患难为荣； 知道患难产生忍耐，
4 忍耐产生毅力， 毅力产生盼望；
5 盼望是不会令人蒙羞的， 因为 神借着所赐给我们的圣灵， 把他的爱浇灌在我们的心里。
6 当我们还软弱的时候， 基督就照所定的日期， 为不敬虔的人死了。
7 为义人死， 是少有的； 为好人死， 或有敢作的；
8 唯有基督在我们还作罪人的时候为我们死， 神对我们的爱就在此显明了。
9 所以， 我们现在既然因他的血称义， 就更要借着他免受 神的忿怒。
10 我们作仇敌的时候， 尚且借着 神儿子的死与他复和， 既然复和了， 就更要因他的生得救了！
11 不但这样， 我们现在已经借着我们的主耶稣基督与 神复和， 也借着他以 神为荣。
12 正好像罪借着一个人入了世界， 死又是从罪来的， 所以死就临到全人类， 因为人人都犯了罪。
13 没有律法以前， 罪已经在世界上了； 不过， 没有律法的时候， 罪也不算罪。
14 可是， 从亚当到摩西， 死就掌权了， 甚至那些不像亚当那样犯罪的人， 也在死的权下； 亚当正是要来的那一位的预表。
15 但恩赏和过犯是截然不同的； 如果因着那一人的过犯， 众人都死了， 神的恩典和这一人耶稣基督在恩典里的赏赐， 对众人就更加丰盛了。
16 这赏赐和那一人犯罪的后果也是不同的； 因为审判是由一人而来， 以致定罪， 恩赏却由许多过犯而来， 以致称义。
17 如果因着那一人的过犯， 死就因那一人而掌权， 那些蒙丰富的恩典并且得公义为赏赐的， 就更要因这一位耶稣基督在生命中掌权了。
18 这样看来， 因一次的过犯， 全人类都被定罪； 照样， 因一次的义行， 全人类都被称义得生命了。
19 因着那一人的悖逆， 众人就被列为罪人； 照样， 因着这一人的顺服， 众人也被列为义人了。
20 律法的出现， 是要叫过犯增多； 然而罪在哪里增多， 恩典就更加增多了。
21 罪借着死掌权； 照样， 恩典也借着义掌权， 使人借着我们的主耶稣基督进入永生。
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.
