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.
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.
1 所以， 我们既然因信称义， 就借着我们的主耶稣基督与 神和好；
2 我们也凭着信， 借着他可以进入现在所站的这恩典中， 并且以盼望得享 神的荣耀为荣。
3 不但这样， 我们更以患难为荣； 知道患难产生忍耐，
4 忍耐产生毅力， 毅力产生盼望；
5 盼望是不会令人蒙羞的， 因为 神借着所赐给我们的圣灵， 把他的爱浇灌在我们的心里。
6 当我们还软弱的时候， 基督就照所定的日期， 为不敬虔的人死了。
7 为义人死， 是少有的； 为好人死， 或有敢作的；
8 唯有基督在我们还作罪人的时候为我们死， 神对我们的爱就在此显明了。
9 所以， 我们现在既然因他的血称义， 就更要借着他免受 神的忿怒。
10 我们作仇敌的时候， 尚且借着 神儿子的死与他复和， 既然复和了， 就更要因他的生得救了！
11 不但这样， 我们现在已经借着我们的主耶稣基督与 神复和， 也借着他以 神为荣。
12 正好像罪借着一个人入了世界， 死又是从罪来的， 所以死就临到全人类， 因为人人都犯了罪。
13 没有律法以前， 罪已经在世界上了； 不过， 没有律法的时候， 罪也不算罪。
14 可是， 从亚当到摩西， 死就掌权了， 甚至那些不像亚当那样犯罪的人， 也在死的权下； 亚当正是要来的那一位的预表。
15 但恩赏和过犯是截然不同的； 如果因着那一人的过犯， 众人都死了， 神的恩典和这一人耶稣基督在恩典里的赏赐， 对众人就更加丰盛了。
16 这赏赐和那一人犯罪的后果也是不同的； 因为审判是由一人而来， 以致定罪， 恩赏却由许多过犯而来， 以致称义。
17 如果因着那一人的过犯， 死就因那一人而掌权， 那些蒙丰富的恩典并且得公义为赏赐的， 就更要因这一位耶稣基督在生命中掌权了。
18 这样看来， 因一次的过犯， 全人类都被定罪； 照样， 因一次的义行， 全人类都被称义得生命了。
19 因着那一人的悖逆， 众人就被列为罪人； 照样， 因着这一人的顺服， 众人也被列为义人了。
20 律法的出现， 是要叫过犯增多； 然而罪在哪里增多， 恩典就更加增多了。
21 罪借着死掌权； 照样， 恩典也借着义掌权， 使人借着我们的主耶稣基督进入永生。
