Christ died for us, by whom we are reconciled to God -- As sin and death came by Adam, so righteousness and life by Jesus Christ.

¹⁾Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:;

²⁾By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

³⁾And not only sothis, but we glory in tribulations also:; knowing that tribulation worketh patience;

⁴⁾And patience, experience; and experience, hope:;

⁵⁾And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

⁶⁾For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

⁷⁾For scarcely for a righteous man will one die:; yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.

⁸⁾But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

⁹⁾Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

¹⁰⁾For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son,; much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

¹¹⁾And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

¹²⁾Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin;, and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:;

¹³⁾(For, untilbefore the law, sin was in the world:; butyet sin is not imputed whento therethose iswho have no law.

¹⁴⁾Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. For I say, that through the offense, death reigned over all.

¹⁵⁾But the offense is not as the offencefree gift, so also isfor the freegift giftaboundeth. For, if through the offenceoffense of one, many be dead,; much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, whichhath isabounded by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

¹⁶⁾And not as it was, by one that sinned, so is the gift:; for the judgment wasis by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offencesoffenses unto justification.

¹⁷⁾For if by one man's offenceoffense death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)

¹⁸⁾Therefore, as by the offenceoffense of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.

¹⁹⁾For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

²⁰⁾Moreover the law entered, that the offenceoffense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:;

²¹⁾That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
