Romans 5:3-13

The Bible in Basic English BBE

3 And not only so, but let us have joy in our troubles: in the knowledge that trouble gives us the power of waiting;

4 And waiting gives experience; and experience, hope:

5 And hope does not put to shame; because our hearts are full of the love of God through the Holy Spirit which is given to us.

6 For when we were still without strength, at the right time Christ gave his life for evil-doers.

7 Now it is hard for anyone to give his life even for an upright man, though it might be that for a good man someone would give his life.

8 But God has made clear his love to us, in that, when we were still sinners, Christ gave his life for us.

9 Much more, if we now have righteousness by his blood, will salvation from the wrath of God come to us through him.

10 For if, when we were haters of God, the death of his Son made us at peace with him, much more, now that we are his friends, will we have salvation through his life;

11 And not only so, but we have joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we are now at peace with God.

12 For this reason, as through one man sin came into the world, and death because of sin, and so death came to all men, because all have done evil:

13 Because, till the law came, sin was in existence, but sin is not put to the account of anyone when there is no law to be broken.

New International Version NIV

3 Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance;

4 perseverance, character; and character, hope.

5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

6 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.

7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die.

8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

9 Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him!

10 For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!

11 Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned—

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.
