Bondye renmen nou anvan menm nou fè lapè avè l

Nou se moun Bondye deklare jis devan li, poutèt lafwa nou.[a] Konsa, nou tout[b] fè lapè ak Bondye pa mwayen Jezikri, Senyè nou an. Se li menm ki louvri pòt lagras Bondye n ap jwi kounye a, poutèt konfyans nou mete nan li. Se sa k fè nou kontan anpil, paske n ap tann, yon jou, pou n patisipe nan laglwa Bondye. Anplis, nou kontan anpil, menm nan soufrans yo. Paske n konnen soufrans bay pasyans. Pasyans se prèv nou se moun ki fò. Prèv sa a ban nou espwa. Epi espwa sa a p ap janm twonpe nou. Nou konnen sa, paske Bondye ranpli kè nou ak renmen pa mwayen Sentespri li ban nou an.

Tout sa se laverite, paske Kris te mouri pou nou, lè nou pa t ka fè anyen pou pwòp tèt nou. Nou t ap viv tankou moun ki pa gen okenn respè pou Bondye, men Kris te mouri pou nou, lè jou a te rive pou sa te fèt. Pa gen anpil moun k ap aksepte mouri pou sove lavi yon lòt moun, menm si se ta yon bon moun. Yon moun ta kapab dakò mouri sitou pou yon moun ki bon. Men Kris te mouri pou nou, lè nou te kontinye ap fè sa ki mal. Se konsa Bondye montre nou kijan li gen anpil lanmou pou nou.

Kounye a, sakrifis Kris la fè nou tounen moun ki jis. Konsa, nou sèten n ap sove anba kolè Bondye pa mwayen Kris la. 10 Men sa m vle di, poutèt lè nou te lènmi Bondye, li menm li te rekonsilye nou avè l pa mwayen lanmò Pitit li a, se yon rezon anplis pou nou gen garanti l ap sove nou pa mwayen lavi Pitit li a tou. 11 Se pa sèlman “yon jou n ap sove”, men depi kounye a nou santi nou rejwi poutèt sa Bondye gentan fè pou nou pa mwayen Jezikri, Senyè nou an. Se Jezi ki fè nou kapab vin zanmi Bondye kounye a.

Adan ak Kris

12 Peche te antre nan lemonn poutèt sa yon nonm te fè. Epi, poutèt peche, lanmò vini. Se poutèt sa, tout moun dwe mouri, paske tout moun fè peche. 13 Peche te gentan la anvan Lalwa Moyiz la. Men Bondye pa t pran nòt pou peche yo lè pa t ko gen lalwa. 14 Men depi sou tan Adan, rive sou tan Moyiz, lanmò ap renye sou tout moun. Adan te mouri paske l te peche lè l pa t obeyi lòd Bondye te pase l. Konsa, menm moun ki pa t fè menm kalite peche ak Adan, yo te gen pou yo mouri tou. Adan sanble ak Kris la ki te gen pou vini apre sa.

15 Men, kado Bondye bay la pa menm jan ak peche Adan an. Anpil moun mouri poutèt peche yon sèl moun, ki se Adan. Men gras Bondye bay la, li pi enpòtan anpil. Gras sa a, Bondye bay li pa mwayen yon sèl moun, Jezikri. Li bay anpil moun li san mezire. 16 Apre Adan te fin peche, li te koupab epi kondane amò. Men gras Bondye a pa menm jan. Poutèt kado Bondye bay la, anpil moun tounen moun ki dwat devan Bondye, malgre yo fè anpil peche. 17 Yon sèl moun peche, epi lanmò vin gen pouvwa sou tout moun, poutèt yon sèl moun. Men kounye a, gen anpil moun ki resevwa gras Bondye a, kado Bondye fè pou l fè moun vin jis la. Moun sa yo gen pou yo viv pou yo ka renye sou lanmò pa mwayen Jezikri.

18 Kidonk, peche yon sèl moun lakòz tout moun kondane. Se menm jan an tou, yon sèl bon bagay Kris fè a, sa fè yo tout vin jis devan Bondye. Se sa ki fè yo tout vin jis devan Bondye epi yo resevwa lavi toutbon an. 19 Yon moun te dezobeyi Bondye, sa fè anpil moun vin peche. Men se menm jan an tou, yon moun obeyi Bondye epi anpil moun ap vin jis devan Bondye. 20 Lalwa te vini, li lakòz vin gen plis fason pou moun peche toujou. Men kote peche yo vin pi plis, gras Bondye monte pi plis toujou. 21 Peche sèvi ak lanmò pou l renye sou nou. Men kounye a, gras Bondye gen pouvwa sou peche ak lanmò poutèt jistis Bondye. Epi se sa ki ban nou lavi etènèl pa mwayen Jezikri, Senyè nou an.

Peace and Hope

Therefore, since we have been justified(A) through faith,(B) we[a] have peace(C) with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,(D) 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. Not only so, but we[c] also glory in our sufferings,(H) because we know that suffering produces perseverance;(I) perseverance, character; and character, hope. 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.

You see, at just the right time,(M) when we were still powerless,(N) Christ died for the ungodly.(O) Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.(P)

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.
