  • 1. Therefore being iustified by fayth, we are at peace with god, thorowe our Lorde Iesus Christe:
  • 2. By whom also we haue had an entrauce by fayth, vnto this grace wherin we stande, and reioyce in hope of the glorie of God.
  • 3. Not that only: but also we reioyce in tribulations, knowyng that tribulation worketh pacience:
  • 4. Pacience profe, profe hope:
  • 5. And hope maketh not ashamed, because the loue of God is shedde abrode in our heartes by the holy ghost, which is geuen vnto vs.
  • 6. For when we were yet weake, accordyng to the tyme, Christe dyed for the vngodly.
  • 7. Nowe scace wyll any man dye for the righteous: Yet peraduenture for the good some men durst dye.
  • 8. But God setteth out his loue towarde vs, seyng that whyle we were yet sinners, Christe dyed for vs.
  • 9. Muche more then nowe, we that are iustified by his blood, shalbe saued from wrath through hym.
  • 10. For, yf when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his sonne: much more, seyng we are reconciled, we shalbe saued by his lyfe.
  • 11. Not only so, but we also ioye in God, through our Lorde Iesus Christe, by who we haue nowe receaued the atonement.
  • 12. Wherfore, as by one man sinne entred into the worlde, & death by sinne: euen so, death entred into all men, insomuch as all haue sinned.
  • 13. For vnto the lawe, was sinne in the worlde: but sinne is not imputed when there is no lawe.
  • 14. Neuerthelesse, death raigned from Adam to Moyses, ouer them also that had not sinned with lyke transgression as dyd Adam, whiche is the figure of hym that was to come.
  • 15. But not as the sinne, so is the gyft. For yf through the sinne of one many be dead: much more the grace of God, and the gyft by grace, which is by one man Iesus Christe, hath abounded vnto many.
  • 16. And not as by one that sinned [euen so] the gyft. For the iudgement was of one into condemnation: but the gyfte, of many sinnes into iustification.
  • 17. For yf by the sinne of one, death raigned by the meanes of one: much more they, whiche receaue aboundaunce of grace, and of the gyfte of ryghteousnes, shall raigne in life by the meanes of one, Iesus Christe.
  • 18. Lykewyse then, as by the sinne of one [sinne came] on all men to condempnation: euen so, by the ryghteousnes of one [good came] vpon all men to the ryghteousnes of lyfe.
  • 19. For as by one mans disobedience many became sinners: so by the obedience of one, shall many be made ryghteous.
  • 20. But the lawe in the meane tyme entred in, that sinne shoulde encrease. But where sinne was plenteous, grace was more plenteous.
  • 21. That as sinne hath raigned vnto death: euen so myght grace raigne thorowe ryghteousnes vnto eternall lyfe, by Iesus Christe our Lorde.
