MODERN LITERAL VERSION

5:1 Therefore being justified out of faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;
5:2 through whom we also have had our access in the faith into this grace in which we stand, and we are boasting in hope of the glory of God.
5:3 But not only in this, but we are also boasting in our afflictions, knowing that affliction is working endurance;
5:4 and endurance, approved character, and an approved character, hope;
5:5 and hope does not make one ashamed, because the love* of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
5:6 For* while we were still weak, according to the proper time Christ died on behalf of the ungodly.
5:7 For* scarcely will one die on behalf of a righteous man; for* perhaps someone might even dare to die on behalf of the good man.
5:8 But God is establishing his own love* toward us, in that, while we were still sinners, Christ died on our behalf.
5:9 Then* much more, being now justified in his blood, we will be saved from the wrath of God through him.
5:10 For* if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we will be saved by his life;
5:11 and not only so, but we are also boasting in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

5:12 Because of this, as sin entered into the world through one man and death through sin, and so death has gone forth to all men, in which all have sinned.
5:13 For* till the law sin was in the world, but sin is not charged to one's account when there is no law.
5:14 But death reigned from Adam till Moses, even over those who had not sinned in the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a pattern of the future one.
5:15 But not like the trespass, so also is the gift*. For* if the many died by the trespass of the one, much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many.
5:16 Now the gift is not through one who sinned; for* indeed the judgment came from one to condemnation, but the gift* came from many trespasses to an act of righteousness.
5:17 For* if, by the trespass of the one, death reigned through the one; much more they, who are receiving the abundance of the grace and of the gift of righteousness, will reign in life through the one, who is Jesus Christ.
5:18 Then* consequently, as through one trespass the judgment came to all men to condemnation; so through one act of righteousness the gift also came to all men to justification of life.
5:19 For* as through the one man's disobedience* the many were designated as sinners, so also through the obedience of the one the many will be designated as righteous.
5:20 But the law entered in besides, that* the trespass might increase, but where sin increased, grace over abounded;
5:21 that*, as sin reigned in death, so grace might also reign through righteousness to everlasting life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
