King James Version
KJV
[1]Therefore being iustified by fayth, we are at peace with god, thorowe our Lorde Iesus Christe [1]Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
[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 [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]Not that only: but also we reioyce in tribulations, knowyng that tribulation worketh pacience [3]And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
[4]Pacience profe, profe hope [4]And patience, experience; and experience, 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 [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 weake, accordyng to the tyme, Christe dyed for the vngodly [6]For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
[7]Nowe scace wyll any man dye for the righteous: Yet peraduenture for the good some men durst dye [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 setteth out his loue towarde vs, seyng that whyle we were yet sinners, Christe dyed for vs [8]But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
[9]Muche more then nowe, we that are iustified by his blood, shalbe saued from wrath through hym [9]Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
[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 [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]Not only so, but we also ioye in God, through our Lorde Iesus Christe, by who we haue nowe receaued the atonement [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]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 [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 vnto the lawe, was sinne in the worlde: but sinne is not imputed when there is no lawe [13](For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
[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 [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 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 [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 by one that sinned [euen so] the gyft. For the iudgement was of one into condemnation: but the gyfte, of many sinnes into iustification [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 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 [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]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 [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 mans disobedience many became sinners: so by the obedience of one, shall many be made ryghteous [19]For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
[20]But the lawe in the meane tyme entred in, that sinne shoulde encrease. But where sinne was plenteous, grace was more plenteous [20]Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
[21]That as sinne hath raigned vnto death: euen so myght grace raigne thorowe ryghteousnes vnto eternall lyfe, by Iesus Christe our Lorde [21]That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
