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.

1 Na, i te mea ka tika nei i te whakapono, kia mau ta tatou maunga rongo ki te Atua, he mea na to tatou Ariki, na Ihu Karaiti;

2 Nana nei te whakatatanga i a tatou i runga i te whakapono ki tenei aroha noa e tu nei tatou; a kia hari tatou i te mea ka tumanako nei tatou ki te kororia o te Atua.

3 A ehara i te mea ko tera anake, engari kia whakamanamana ano tatou ki o tatou mamae: e mohio ana hoki ko ta te mamae e mahi ai he manawanui;

4 Ko ta te manawanui he matauranga; ko ta te matauranga he tumanako:

5 E kore ano e whakama i te mea ka tumanako nei: kua ringihia hoki te aroha o te Atua ki o tatou ngakau e te Wairua Tapu kua homai nei ki a tatou.

6 I a tatou hoki e ngoikore tonu ana, i te wa i rite ai, ka mate a te Karaiti mo te hunga karakiakore.

7 E mate whakauaua hoki tetahi mo te tangata tika: tera pea ia tetahi e maia rawa kia mate mo te tangata pai.

8 Heoi e whakakitea nuitia ana e te Atua tona aroha ki a tatou, i te mea, i a tatou ano e hara ana, ka mate a te Karaiti mo tatou.

9 Na, i a tatou ka tika nei i ona toto, tera noa ake he whakaoranga mana i a tatou i te riri o te Atua.

10 Mehemea hoki, i te wa he hoa whawhai tatou, ka houhia ta tatou rongo ki te Atua i runga i te matenga o tana Tama, tera noa ake, i te mea ka mau nei te rongo, he whakaoranga mo tatou, i a ia kua ora nei;

11 Ehara hoki i te mea ko tera anake, engari e whakamanamana ana ano tatou ki te Atua, he mea na to tatou Ariki, na Ihu Karaiti, nana nei tenei houhanga rongo ki a tatou.

12 Na, ka rite ki te putanga mai o te hara ki te ao, he mea na te tangata kotahi, me te mate ano i runga i te hara; ka horapa te mate ki nga tangata katoa; no te mea kua hara katoa:

13 I te ao nei hoki te hara, a tae noa mai te ture: otira e kore e whakairia te hara i te mea kahore he ture.

14 Ahakoa ra he mana kingi to te mate no Arama iho ano taea noatia a Mohi, ki te hunga rawa kihai nei i rite to ratou hara ki to Arama poka ke, he ahua nei hoki ia no tenei i taria nei.

15 Otira kihai i rite ki te hara te mea i homai noa mai. Mehemea hoki na te hara o te kotahi i mate ai te tokomaha, waihoki tera noa atu te huanga ki te tokomaha o to te Atua aroha noa, o te mea homai hoki i runga i te aroha noa o te tangata kotahi, o Ihu Karaiti.

16 Kihai ano hoki i rite te mea i homai ki to te kotahi i hara: no te kotahi hoki te whakawa i tau ai te he; no nga hara maha ia te mea i homai noa mai hei whakatika.

17 Mehemea hoki na te hara o te kotahi i kingi ai te mate, he mea na te tangata kotahi; waihoki tera noa ake he kingitanga i runga i te ora mo te hunga ka riro nei i a ratou te aroha noa e hua tonu nei, me te tika i homai noa nei, he mea na te kota hi, ara na Ihu Karaiti.

18 Ae ra, i te mea na te hara kotahi i tau ai te he ki nga tangata katoa, waihoki na te tika kotahi i puta ai te mea homai noa ki nga tangata katoa, e tika ai, e ora ai.

19 Na, i te mea na te tutu o te tangata kotahi i whai hara ai te tokomaha, waihoki na te ngohengohe o te kotahi, ka meinga te tokomaha kia tika.

20 I puta mai te ture kia nui ai te hara; heoi i te hara e nui noa ana, kua hua noa ake te aroha noa:

21 He mea hoki, i te hanga ko te hara te kingi i roto i te mate, kia kingi hoki ko te aroha noa i runga o te tika ki te ora tonu, he meatanga na Ihu Karaiti, na to tatou Ariki.
