Romans 5-8
Young's Literal Translation
5 Having been declared righteous, then, by faith, we have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
2 through whom also we have the access by the faith into this grace in which we have stood, and we boast on the hope of the glory of God.
3 And not only [so], but we also boast in the tribulations, knowing that the tribulation doth work endurance;
4 and the endurance, experience; and the experience, hope;
5 and the hope doth not make ashamed, because the love of God hath been poured forth in our hearts through the Holy Spirit that hath been given to us.
6 For in our being still ailing, Christ in due time did die for the impious;
7 for scarcely for a righteous man will any one die, for for the good man perhaps some one also doth dare to die;
8 and God doth commend His own love to us, that, in our being still sinners, Christ did die for us;
9 much more, then, having been declared righteous now in his blood, we shall be saved through him from the wrath;
10 for if, being enemies, we have been reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved in his life.
11 And not only [so], but we are also boasting in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom now we did receive the reconciliation;
12 because of this, even as through one man the sin did enter into the world, and through the sin the death; and thus to all men the death did pass through, for that all did sin;
13 for till law sin was in the world: and sin is not reckoned when there is not law;
14 but the death did reign from Adam till Moses, even upon those not having sinned in the likeness of Adam's transgression, who is a type of him who is coming.
15 But, not as the offence so also [is] the free gift; for if by the offence of the one the many did die, much more did the grace of God, and the free gift in grace of the one man Jesus Christ, abound to the many;
16 and not as through one who did sin [is] the free gift, for the judgment indeed [is] of one to condemnation, but the gift [is] of many offences to a declaration of `Righteous,'
17 for if by the offence of the one the death did reign through the one, much more those, who the abundance of the grace and of the free gift of the righteousness are receiving, in life shall reign through the one -- Jesus Christ.
18 So, then, as through one offence to all men [it is] to condemnation, so also through one declaration of `Righteous' [it is] to all men to justification of life;
19 for as through the disobedience of the one man, the many were constituted sinners: so also through the obedience of the one, shall the many be constituted righteous.
20 And law came in, that the offence might abound, and where the sin did abound, the grace did overabound,
21 that even as the sin did reign in the death, so also the grace may reign, through righteousness, to life age-during, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
6 What, then, shall we say? shall we continue in the sin that the grace may abound?
2 let it not be! we who died to the sin -- how shall we still live in it?
3 are ye ignorant that we, as many as were baptized to Christ Jesus, to his death were baptized?
4 we were buried together, then, with him through the baptism to the death, that even as Christ was raised up out of the dead through the glory of the Father, so also we in newness of life might walk.
5 For, if we have become planted together to the likeness of his death, [so] also we shall be of the rising again;
6 this knowing, that our old man was crucified with [him], that the body of the sin may be made useless, for our no longer serving the sin;
7 for he who hath died hath been set free from the sin.
8 And if we died with Christ, we believe that we also shall live with him,
9 knowing that Christ, having been raised up out of the dead, doth no more die, death over him hath no more lordship;
10 for in that he died, to the sin he died once, and in that he liveth, he liveth to God;
11 so also ye, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to the sin, and living to God in Jesus Christ our Lord.
12 Let not then the sin reign in your mortal body, to obey it in its desires;
13 neither present ye your members instruments of unrighteousness to the sin, but present yourselves to God as living out of the dead, and your members instruments of righteousness to God;
14 for sin over you shall not have lordship, for ye are not under law, but under grace.
15 What then? shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? let it not be!
16 have ye not known that to whom ye present yourselves servants for obedience, servants ye are to him to whom ye obey, whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?
17 and thanks to God, that ye were servants of the sin, and -- were obedient from the heart to the form of teaching to which ye were delivered up;
18 and having been freed from the sin, ye became servants to the righteousness.
19 In the manner of men I speak, because of the weakness of your flesh, for even as ye did present your members servants to the uncleanness and to the lawlessness -- to the lawlessness, so now present your members servants to the righteousness -- to sanctification,
20 for when ye were servants of the sin, ye were free from the righteousness,
21 what fruit, therefore, were ye having then, in the things of which ye are now ashamed? for the end of those [is] death.
22 And now, having been freed from the sin, and having become servants to God, ye have your fruit -- to sanctification, and the end life age-during;
23 for the wages of the sin [is] death, and the gift of God [is] life age-during in Christ Jesus our Lord.
7 Are ye ignorant, brethren -- for to those knowing law I speak -- that the law hath lordship over the man as long as he liveth?
2 for the married woman to the living husband hath been bound by law, and if the husband may die, she hath been free from the law of the husband;
3 so, then, the husband being alive, an adulteress she shall be called if she may become another man's; and if the husband may die, she is free from the law, so as not to be an adulteress, having become another man's.
4 So that, my brethren, ye also were made dead to the law through the body of the Christ, for your becoming another's, who out of the dead was raised up, that we might bear fruit to God;
5 for when we were in the flesh, the passions of the sins, that [are] through the law, were working in our members, to bear fruit to the death;
6 and now we have ceased from the law, that being dead in which we were held, so that we may serve in newness of spirit, and not in oldness of letter.
7 What, then, shall we say? the law [is] sin? let it not be! but the sin I did not know except through law, for also the covetousness I had not known if the law had not said:
8 `Thou shalt not covet;' and the sin having received an opportunity, through the command, did work in me all covetousness -- for apart from law sin is dead.
9 And I was alive apart from law once, and the command having come, the sin revived, and I died;
10 and the command that [is] for life, this was found by me for death;
11 for the sin, having received an opportunity, through the command, did deceive me, and through it did slay [me];
12 so that the law, indeed, [is] holy, and the command holy, and righteous, and good.
13 That which is good then, to me hath it become death? let it not be! but the sin, that it might appear sin, through the good, working death to me, that the sin might become exceeding sinful through the command,
14 for we have known that the law is spiritual, and I am fleshly, sold by the sin;
15 for that which I work, I do not acknowledge; for not what I will, this I practise, but what I hate, this I do.
16 And if what I do not will, this I do, I consent to the law that [it is] good,
17 and now it is no longer I that work it, but the sin dwelling in me,
18 for I have known that there doth not dwell in me, that is, in my flesh, good: for to will is present with me, and to work that which is right I do not find,
19 for the good that I will, I do not; but the evil that I do not will, this I practise.
20 And if what I do not will, this I do, it is no longer I that work it, but the sin that is dwelling in me.
21 I find, then, the law, that when I desire to do what is right, with me the evil is present,
22 for I delight in the law of God according to the inward man,
23 and I behold another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of the sin that [is] in my members.
24 A wretched man I [am]! who shall deliver me out of the body of this death?
25 I thank God -- through Jesus Christ our Lord; so then, I myself indeed with the mind do serve the law of God, and with the flesh, the law of sin.
8 There is, then, now no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit;
2 for the law of the Spirit of the life in Christ Jesus did set me free from the law of the sin and of the death;
3 for what the law was not able to do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, His own Son having sent in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, did condemn the sin in the flesh,
4 that the righteousness of the law may be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
5 For those who are according to the flesh, the things of the flesh do mind; and those according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit;
6 for the mind of the flesh [is] death, and the mind of the Spirit -- life and peace;
7 because the mind of the flesh [is] enmity to God, for to the law of God it doth not subject itself,
8 for neither is it able; and those who are in the flesh are not able to please God.
9 And ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God doth dwell in you; and if any one hath not the Spirit of Christ -- this one is not His;
10 and if Christ [is] in you, the body, indeed, [is] dead because of sin, and the Spirit [is] life because of righteousness,
11 and if the Spirit of Him who did raise up Jesus out of the dead doth dwell in you, He who did raise up the Christ out of the dead shall quicken also your dying bodies, through His Spirit dwelling in you.
12 So, then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh;
13 for if according to the flesh ye do live, ye are about to die; and if, by the Spirit, the deeds of the body ye put to death, ye shall live;
14 for as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God;
15 for ye did not receive a spirit of bondage again for fear, but ye did receive a spirit of adoption in which we cry, `Abba -- Father.'
16 The Spirit himself doth testify with our spirit, that we are children of God;
17 and if children, also heirs, heirs, indeed, of God, and heirs together of Christ -- if, indeed, we suffer together, that we may also be glorified together.
18 For I reckon that the sufferings of the present time [are] not worthy [to be compared] with the glory about to be revealed in us;
19 for the earnest looking out of the creation doth expect the revelation of the sons of God;
20 for to vanity was the creation made subject -- not of its will, but because of Him who did subject [it] -- in hope,
21 that also the creation itself shall be set free from the servitude of the corruption to the liberty of the glory of the children of God;
22 for we have known that all the creation doth groan together, and doth travail in pain together till now.
23 And not only [so], but also we ourselves, having the first-fruit of the Spirit, we also ourselves in ourselves do groan, adoption expecting -- the redemption of our body;
24 for in hope we were saved, and hope beheld is not hope; for what any one doth behold, why also doth he hope for [it]?
25 and if what we do not behold we hope for, through continuance we expect [it].
26 And, in like manner also, the Spirit doth help our weaknesses; for, what we may pray for, as it behoveth [us], we have not known, but the Spirit himself doth make intercession for us with groanings unutterable,
27 and He who is searching the hearts hath known what [is] the mind of the Spirit, because according to God he doth intercede for saints.
28 And we have known that to those loving God all things do work together for good, to those who are called according to purpose;
29 because whom He did foreknow, He also did fore-appoint, conformed to the image of His Son, that he might be first-born among many brethren;
30 and whom He did fore-appoint, these also He did call; and whom He did call, these also He declared righteous; and whom He declared righteous, these also He did glorify.
31 What, then, shall we say unto these things? if God [is] for us, who [is] against us?
32 He who indeed His own Son did not spare, but for us all did deliver him up, how shall He not also with him the all things grant to us?
33 Who shall lay a charge against the choice ones of God? God [is] He that is declaring righteous,
34 who [is] he that is condemning? Christ [is] He that died, yea, rather also, was raised up; who is also on the right hand of God -- who also doth intercede for us.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of the Christ? tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 (according as it hath been written -- `For Thy sake we are put to death all the day long, we were reckoned as sheep of slaughter,')
37 but in all these we more than conquer, through him who loved us;
38 for I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor messengers, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present,
39 nor things about to be, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, that [is] in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Peace and Hope
5 Therefore, since we have been justified(A) through faith,(B) we[a] have peace(C) with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,(D) 2 through whom we have gained access(E) by faith into this grace in which we now stand.(F) And we[b] boast in the hope(G) of the glory of God. 3 Not only so, but we[c] also glory in our sufferings,(H) because we know that suffering produces perseverance;(I) 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 And hope(J) does not put us to shame, because God’s love(K) has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit,(L) who has been given to us.
6 You see, at just the right time,(M) when we were still powerless,(N) Christ died for the ungodly.(O) 7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.(P)
9 Since we have now been justified(Q) by his blood,(R) how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath(S) through him! 10 For if, while we were God’s enemies,(T) we were reconciled(U) to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!(V) 11 Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.(W)
Death Through Adam, Life Through Christ
12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man,(X) and death through sin,(Y) and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned(Z)—
13 To be sure, sin was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not charged against anyone’s account where there is no law.(AA) 14 Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam,(AB) who is a pattern of the one to come.(AC)
15 But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man,(AD) how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ,(AE) overflow to the many! 16 Nor can the gift of God be compared with the result of one man’s sin: The judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation, but the gift followed many trespasses and brought justification. 17 For if, by the trespass of the one man, death(AF) reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life(AG) through the one man, Jesus Christ!
18 Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people,(AH) so also one righteous act resulted in justification(AI) and life(AJ) for all people. 19 For just as through the disobedience of the one man(AK) the many were made sinners,(AL) so also through the obedience(AM) of the one man the many will be made righteous.
20 The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase.(AN) But where sin increased, grace increased all the more,(AO) 21 so that, just as sin reigned in death,(AP) so also grace(AQ) might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life(AR) through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Dead to Sin, Alive in Christ
6 What shall we say, then?(AS) Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase?(AT) 2 By no means! We are those who have died to sin;(AU) how can we live in it any longer? 3 Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized(AV) into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death(AW) in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead(AX) through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.(AY)
5 For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his.(AZ) 6 For we know that our old self(BA) was crucified with him(BB) so that the body ruled by sin(BC) might be done away with,[d] that we should no longer be slaves to sin(BD)— 7 because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.(BE)
8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.(BF) 9 For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead,(BG) he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him.(BH) 10 The death he died, he died to sin(BI) once for all;(BJ) but the life he lives, he lives to God.
11 In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin(BK) but alive to God in Christ Jesus. 12 Therefore do not let sin reign(BL) in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. 13 Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness,(BM) but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness.(BN) 14 For sin shall no longer be your master,(BO) because you are not under the law,(BP) but under grace.(BQ)
Slaves to Righteousness
15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under the law but under grace?(BR) By no means! 16 Don’t you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey(BS)—whether you are slaves to sin,(BT) which leads to death,(BU) or to obedience, which leads to righteousness? 17 But thanks be to God(BV) that, though you used to be slaves to sin,(BW) you have come to obey from your heart the pattern of teaching(BX) that has now claimed your allegiance. 18 You have been set free from sin(BY) and have become slaves to righteousness.(BZ)
19 I am using an example from everyday life(CA) because of your human limitations. Just as you used to offer yourselves as slaves to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer yourselves as slaves to righteousness(CB) leading to holiness. 20 When you were slaves to sin,(CC) you were free from the control of righteousness.(CD) 21 What benefit did you reap at that time from the things you are now ashamed of? Those things result in death!(CE) 22 But now that you have been set free from sin(CF) and have become slaves of God,(CG) the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life.(CH) 23 For the wages of sin is death,(CI) but the gift of God is eternal life(CJ) in[e] Christ Jesus our Lord.
Released From the Law, Bound to Christ
7 Do you not know, brothers and sisters(CK)—for I am speaking to those who know the law—that the law has authority over someone only as long as that person lives? 2 For example, by law a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law that binds her to him.(CL) 3 So then, if she has sexual relations with another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress.(CM) But if her husband dies, she is released from that law and is not an adulteress if she marries another man.
4 So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law(CN) through the body of Christ,(CO) that you might belong to another,(CP) to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God. 5 For when we were in the realm of the flesh,[f](CQ) the sinful passions aroused by the law(CR) were at work in us,(CS) so that we bore fruit for death.(CT) 6 But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law(CU) so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.(CV)
The Law and Sin
7 What shall we say, then?(CW) Is the law sinful? Certainly not!(CX) Nevertheless, I would not have known what sin was had it not been for the law.(CY) For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, “You shall not covet.”[g](CZ) 8 But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment,(DA) produced in me every kind of coveting. For apart from the law, sin was dead.(DB) 9 Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died. 10 I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life(DC) actually brought death. 11 For sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment,(DD) deceived me,(DE) and through the commandment put me to death. 12 So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous and good.(DF)
13 Did that which is good, then, become death to me? By no means! Nevertheless, in order that sin might be recognized as sin, it used what is good(DG) to bring about my death,(DH) so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful.
14 We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual,(DI) sold(DJ) as a slave to sin.(DK) 15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.(DL) 16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good.(DM) 17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me.(DN) 18 For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature.[h](DO) For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19 For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing.(DP) 20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.(DQ)
21 So I find this law at work:(DR) Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22 For in my inner being(DS) I delight in God’s law;(DT) 23 but I see another law at work in me, waging war(DU) against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin(DV) at work within me. 24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death?(DW) 25 Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!(DX)
So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law,(DY) but in my sinful nature[i] a slave to the law of sin.(DZ)
Life Through the Spirit
8 Therefore, there is now no condemnation(EA) for those who are in Christ Jesus,(EB) 2 because through Christ Jesus(EC) the law of the Spirit who gives life(ED) has set you[j] free(EE) from the law of sin(EF) and death. 3 For what the law was powerless(EG) to do because it was weakened by the flesh,[k](EH) God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh(EI) to be a sin offering.[l](EJ) And so he condemned sin in the flesh, 4 in order that the righteous requirement(EK) of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.(EL)
5 Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires;(EM) but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.(EN) 6 The mind governed by the flesh is death,(EO) but the mind governed by the Spirit is life(EP) and peace. 7 The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God;(EQ) it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. 8 Those who are in the realm of the flesh(ER) cannot please God.
9 You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh(ES) but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you.(ET) And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ,(EU) they do not belong to Christ. 10 But if Christ is in you,(EV) then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life[m] because of righteousness. 11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead(EW) is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies(EX) because of[n] his Spirit who lives in you.
12 Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation—but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it.(EY) 13 For if you live according to the flesh, you will die;(EZ) but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body,(FA) you will live.(FB)
14 For those who are led by the Spirit of God(FC) are the children of God.(FD) 15 The Spirit(FE) you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again;(FF) rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship.[o] And by him we cry, “Abba,[p] Father.”(FG) 16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit(FH) that we are God’s children.(FI) 17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs(FJ)—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings(FK) in order that we may also share in his glory.(FL)
Present Suffering and Future Glory
18 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.(FM) 19 For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God(FN) to be revealed. 20 For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it,(FO) in hope 21 that[q] the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay(FP) and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.(FQ)
22 We know that the whole creation has been groaning(FR) as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 23 Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit,(FS) groan(FT) inwardly as we wait eagerly(FU) for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies.(FV) 24 For in this hope we were saved.(FW) But hope that is seen is no hope at all.(FX) Who hopes for what they already have? 25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.(FY)
26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit(FZ) himself intercedes for us(GA) through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts(GB) knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes(GC) for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.
28 And we know that in all things God works for the good(GD) of those who love him, who[r] have been called(GE) according to his purpose.(GF) 29 For those God foreknew(GG) he also predestined(GH) to be conformed to the image of his Son,(GI) that he might be the firstborn(GJ) among many brothers and sisters. 30 And those he predestined,(GK) he also called;(GL) those he called, he also justified;(GM) those he justified, he also glorified.(GN)
More Than Conquerors
31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things?(GO) If God is for us,(GP) who can be against us?(GQ) 32 He who did not spare his own Son,(GR) but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33 Who will bring any charge(GS) against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34 Who then is the one who condemns?(GT) No one. Christ Jesus who died(GU)—more than that, who was raised to life(GV)—is at the right hand of God(GW) and is also interceding for us.(GX) 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?(GY) Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?(GZ) 36 As it is written:
37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors(HB) through him who loved us.(HC) 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[t] neither the present nor the future,(HD) nor any powers,(HE) 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God(HF) that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.(HG)
