Romans 5 - NRSV & NLT

Therefore, since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God… Romans 5:1

Therefore, since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. 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. faith righteousness peace
And not only that, but we also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope. Romans 5:3-4	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. suffering hope joy

And hope does not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us. Romans 5:5	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. hope heart Spirit
For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. Romans 5:6	When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners. sacrifice Jesus transformation
Indeed, rarely will anyone die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person someone might actually dare to die. But God proves his love for us in that while we still were sinners Christ died for us. Romans 5:7-8	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. sin salvation death
For if while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more surely, having been reconciled, will we be saved by his life. Romans 5:10	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. Savior salvation reconciliation
But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died through the one man's trespass, much more surely have the grace of God and the free gift in the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abounded for the many. Romans 5:15	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. sin grace Jesus
For just as by the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous. Romans 5:19	Because one person disobeyed God, many became sinners. But because one other person obeyed God, many will be made righteous. righteousness obedience salvation
So that, just as sin exercised dominion in death, so grace might also exercise dominion through justification leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 5:21	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. sin grace eternal life
