Romans 5

Results of Justification

1Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, # Ro 4:5 we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, # Jn 14:27 2through whom we also have access by faith # Eph 2:18; 3:12 into this grace in which we stand, # 1Co 15:1 and so we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3Not only so, but we also boast in tribulation, knowing that tribulation produces patience, # Jas 1:2–3 4patience produces character, and character produces hope. # Jas 1:12 5And hope does not disappoint, because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. # Gal 4:6; Php 1:20

6While we were yet weak, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. # Ro 4:25; 5:8 7Rarely for a righteous man will one die. Yet perhaps for a good man some would even dare to die. 8But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. # Jn 15:13; 1Pe 3:18

9How much more then, being now justified by His blood, shall we be saved from wrath through Him. # Ro 1:18; 1Th 1:10 10For if while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son, how much more, being reconciled, shall we be saved by His life! # 2Co 5:18–19; Col 1:20–21 11Furthermore, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

Adam and Christ

12Therefore as sin came into the world through one man and death through sin, # Ge 2:17; Ro 6:23; 1Co 15:21–22 so death has spread to all men, because all have sinned.

13For until the law, sin was in the world. But sin is not counted when there is no law. # Ro 4:15 14Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned in the likeness of Adam’s sin, who was a type of Him who was to come. # 1Co 15:45

15But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if through the trespass of one man many died, # Ro 5:12 then how much more has the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many. # Isa 53:11 16The gift is not like the result that came through the one who sinned. For the judgment from one sin led to condemnation, but the free gift, which came after many trespasses, leads to justification. 17For if by one man’s trespass death reigned through him, then how much more will those who receive abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ. # Rev 22:5

18Therefore just as through the trespass of one man came condemnation for all men, # Ro 5:12 so through the righteous act of One came justification of life for all men. # Jn 12:32 19For just as through one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the obedience of One # Php 2:8 the many will be made righteous.

20But the law entered, so that sin might increase, # Ro 7:7–8; Gal 3:19 but where sin increased, grace abounded much more, 21so that just as sin reigned in death, # Ro 5:12, 14 grace might reign through righteousness unto eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
