Romans 5 - NLT & NKJV

Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith… Romans 5:1

Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. Romans 5:1	Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. faith righteousness peace
We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. Romans 5:3-4	And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. suffering hope joy

And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love. Romans 5:5	Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us. hope heart Spirit
When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners. Romans 5:6	For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. sacrifice Jesus transformation
Now, most people would not be willing to die for an upright person, though someone might perhaps be willing to die for a person who is especially good. But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. Romans 5:7-8	For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. sin salvation death
For since our friendship with God was restored by the death of his Son while we were still his enemies, we will certainly be saved through the life of his Son. Romans 5:10	For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. Savior salvation reconciliation
But there is a great difference between Adam’s sin and God’s gracious gift. For the sin of this one man, Adam, brought death to many. But even greater is God’s wonderful grace and his gift of forgiveness to many through this other man, Jesus Christ. Romans 5:15	But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the one man’s offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many. sin grace Jesus
Because one person disobeyed God, many became sinners. But because one other person obeyed God, many will be made righteous. Romans 5:19	For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous. righteousness obedience salvation
So just as sin ruled over all people and brought them to death, now God’s wonderful grace rules instead, giving us right standing with God and resulting in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 5:21	So that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. sin grace eternal life
