   we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,   
   2 (1Co 15:1; Eph 2:18) through whom we also have access by faith   
   into this grace in which we stand, and so we rejoice in hope of the glory   
   of God.   
   3 (Jas 1:2-3; 1:12) Not only so, but we also boast in tribulation,   
   knowing that tribulation produces patience,   
   4 (Jas 1:12) patience produces character, and character produces hope.   
   5 (Gal 4:6; Php 1:20) And hope does not disappoint, because the love of God   
   is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.   
   6 (Ro 4:25; 5:8_ While we were yet weak, in due time Christ died   
   for the ungodly.   
   7 Rarely for a righteous man will one die. Yet perhaps for a good man   
   some would even dare to die.   
   8 (Jn 15:13; 1Pe 3:18) But God demonstrates His own love toward us,   
   in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.   
   9 (Ro 1:18; 1Th 1:10) How much more then, being now justified by His blood,   
   shall we be saved from wrath through Him.   
   10 (2Co 5:18-19; Col 1:20-21) For if while we were enemies, we were reconciled   
   to God by the death of His Son, how much more, being reconciled, shall we be   
   saved by His life.   
   11 (Ro 5:10; 2Co 5:18-19) Furthermore, we also rejoice in God through   
   our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.   
      
   Romans 5   
   [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 so, 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.   
      
   Adam and Christ   
      
   12 (Ge 2:17; Ro 6:23; 1Co 15:21-22) Therefore as sin came into the world   
   through one man and death through sin, so death has spread to all men,   
   because all have sinned.   
   13 (Ro 4:15) For until the law, sin was in the world. But sin is not   
   counted when there is no law.   
   14 (1Co 15:45) Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses,   
   even over those who had not sinned in the likeness of Adam's sin,   
   who was a type of Him who was to come.   
   15 (Ro 5:12; Isa 53:11) But the free gift is not like the trespass.   
   For if through the trespass of one man many died, then how much more has   
   the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of the one Man,   
   Jesus Christ, abounded to many.   
   16 The gift is not like the result that came through the one who sinned.   
   For the judgment from one sin led to condemnation, but the free gift,   
   which came after many trespasses, leads to justification.   
   17 (Ro 5:12; Rev 22:5) For if by one man's trespass death reigned   
   through him, then how much more will those who receive abundance   
   of grace and the gift of righteousness reign in life through the One,   
   Jesus Christ.   
   18 (Ro 5:12; Jn 12:32) Therefore just as through the trespass of one man   
   came condemnation for all men, so through the righteous act of One came   
   justification of life for all men.   
   19 (Php 2:8) For just as through one man's disobedience the many were made   
   sinners, so by the obedience of One the many will be made righteous.   
   20 (Ro 6:1) But the law entered, so that sin might increase,   
   but where sin increased, grace abounded much more,   
   21 (Ro 5:14; 5:12) so that just as sin reigned in death, grace might   
   reign through righteousness unto eternal life through Jesus Christ   
   our Lord.   
      
   [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 until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when   
   there is 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.   
   [15] But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the   
   offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by   
   grace, which is 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   
   was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto   
   justification.   
   [17] For if by one man's offence 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 offence 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 offence 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.   
      
   Romans 6   
      
   Dead to Sin but Alive in Christ   
      
   1 (Ro 6:15) What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin   
   that grace may increase?   
   2 (Col 3:3; 1Pe 2:24) God forbid! How shall we who died to sin live   
   any longer in it?   
   3 (Mt 28:19; Gal 3:27; 1Co 12:13) Do you not know that we who were   
   baptised into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death?   
   4 (Ro 7:6; 2Co 5:17) Therefore we were buried with Him by baptism into death,   
   that just as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father,   
   even so we also should walk in newness of life.   
   5 (Php 3:10-11; 2Co 4:10) For if we have been united with Him   
   in the likeness of His death, so shall we also be united with Him   
   in the likeness of His resurrection,   
   6 (Gal 2:20; Eph 4:22) knowing this, that our old man has been crucified   
   with Him, so that the body of sin might be destroyed, and we should   
   no longer be slaves to sin.   
   7 (1Pe 4:1) For the one who has died is freed from sin.   
   8 (2Co 13:4) Now if we died with Christ,   
   we believe that we shall also live with Him,   
   9 (Rev 1:18; Ro 5:14) knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead,   
   will never die again; death has no further dominion over Him.   
   10 For the death He died, He died to sin once for all,   
   but the life He lives, He lives to God.   
   11 (Ro 6:2; 6:13) Likewise, you also consider yourselves to be dead to sin,   
   but alive to God through Jesus Christ our Lord.   
   12 (Ro 6:16; Ps 19:13) Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body,   
   that you should obey it in its lusts.   
   13 (Ro 7:5; 12:1) Do not yield your members to sin as instruments   
   of unrighteousness, but yield yourselves to God, as those who are alive   
   from the dead, and your bodies to God as instruments of righteousness.   
   14 (Ro 6:12; 8:2) For sin shall not have dominion over you,   
   for you are not under the law, but under grace.
