Aprobados por Dios
5 Así que Dios nos aprobó gracias a la fe, y ahora, por medio de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, hay paz[a] entre Dios y nosotros. 2 A través de la fe, Cristo nos ha traído al generoso amor de Dios que ahora disfrutamos, y estamos felices con la esperanza de compartir la gloria de Dios. 3 Pero hay más, podemos sentirnos felices aun cuando tenemos sufrimientos porque los sufrimientos nos enseñan a ser pacientes. 4 Si tenemos paciencia, nuestro carácter se fortalece y con un carácter así, nuestra esperanza aumenta. 5 Esa esperanza no nos va a fallar porque Dios nos dio el Espíritu Santo, quien ha derramado el amor de Dios en nosotros.
6 Cristo murió por nosotros en el momento preciso: cuando éramos incapaces de salvarnos, siendo enemigos de Dios. 7 Es muy difícil que alguien muera por salvar a una persona justa. Pero quizás alguien pudiera arriesgar su vida por una persona muy buena. 8 En cambio, Dios nos demostró su amor en que Cristo murió por nosotros aun cuando éramos pecadores.
9 Con mucha más razón ahora, seremos salvos de la ira de Dios porque él nos aprobó por medio de la muerte de Cristo. 10 Cuando éramos enemigos de Dios, él hizo las paces con nosotros a través de la muerte de su Hijo. Con mayor razón ahora que somos amigos de Dios, él nos va a salvar por medio de la vida de Cristo. 11 Además, ahora nos alegramos por lo que Dios ha hecho ya que tenemos amistad con Dios a través de nuestro Señor Jesucristo.
Adán y Cristo
12 El pecado llegó al mundo por lo que hizo un hombre. Con el pecado llegó también la muerte. Todos tendrán que morir porque todos han pecado. 13 El pecado llegó al mundo antes que la ley, pero Dios no acusa a la gente de pecado si no hay una ley. 14 Sin embargo, desde el tiempo de Adán hasta el tiempo de Moisés todos tuvieron que morir. Adán tuvo que morir porque desobedeció el mandato de Dios. Incluso los que no cometieron el pecado que cometió Adán, tuvieron que morir.
Adán era como el que vendría en el futuro. 15 En cambio, el regalo de Dios no tiene comparación con el pecado de Adán: lo que mucha gente recibió por culpa de un solo hombre fue la muerte. En cambio, lo que mucha gente recibió por el generoso amor de Dios fue el regalo de la vida gracias a un solo hombre, Jesucristo. 16 Adán pecó y eso trajo la condenación, pero el regalo de Dios es diferente: se recibe después de cometer muchos pecados y lleva a la aprobación de Dios. 17 La muerte reinó porque un solo hombre pecó. Pero los que han recibido en abundancia el generoso amor de Dios, con mucha más razón ahora tendrán vida y reinarán. Ellos recibieron su aprobación mediante un solo hombre, Jesucristo.
18 Así como un pecado de Adán trajo la condenación a todos los seres humanos, así también un acto de bondad de Cristo trajo la aprobación de Dios y vida para todos. 19 Un hombre desobedeció a Dios e hizo que muchos llegaran a ser pecadores, pero de la misma manera un solo hombre obedeció a Dios y así hizo que muchos fueran aprobados por Dios. 20 La ley llegó para que el pecado aumentara, pero cuanto más aumentó el pecado, aumentó aun más el generoso amor de Dios. 21 El pecado reinó por medio de la muerte, pero ahora el generoso amor de Dios reina aprobándonos por medio de nuestro Señor Jesucristo y dándonos vida eterna.

Faith Triumphs in Trouble
5 Therefore, (A)having been justified by faith, [a]we have (B)peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 (C)through whom also we have access by faith into this grace (D)in which we stand, and (E)rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only that, but (F)we also glory in tribulations, (G)knowing that tribulation produces [b]perseverance; 4 (H)and perseverance, [c]character; and character, hope. 5 (I)Now hope does not disappoint, (J)because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
Christ in Our Place
6 For when we were still without strength, [d]in due time (K)Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. 8 But (L)God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, having now been justified (M)by His blood, we shall be saved (N)from wrath through Him. 10 For (O)if when we were enemies (P)we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved (Q)by His life. 11 And not only that, but we also (R)rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.
Death in Adam, Life in Christ(S)
12 Therefore, just as (T)through one man sin entered the world, and (U)death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned— 13 (For until the law sin was in the world, but (V)sin is not imputed when there is no law. 14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned according to the likeness of the transgression of Adam, (W)who is a type of Him who was to come. 15 But the free gift is not like the [e]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 (X)to many. 16 And the gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned. For the judgment which came from one offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift which came from many [f]offenses resulted in justification. 17 For if by the one man’s [g]offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)
18 Therefore, as through [h]one man’s offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through (Y)one[i] Man’s righteous act the free gift came (Z)to all men, resulting in justification of life. 19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by (AA)one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.
20 Moreover (AB)the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace (AC)abounded much more, 21 so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 5
King James Version
5 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.
