Romans 5

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 For which reason, because we have righteousness through faith, let us be at peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;

2 Through whom, in the same way, we have been able by faith to come to this grace in which we now are; and let us have joy in hope of the glory of God.

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.

14 But still death had power from Adam till Moses, even over those who had not done wrong like Adam, who is a picture of him who was to come.

15 But the free giving of God is not like the wrongdoing of man. For if, by the wrongdoing of one man death came to numbers of men, much more did the grace of God, and the free giving by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, come to men.

16 And the free giving has not the same effect as the sin of one: for the effect of one man's sin was punishment by the decision of God, but the free giving had power to give righteousness to wrongdoers in great number.

17 For, if by the wrongdoing of one, death was ruling through the one, much more will those to whom has come the wealth of grace and the giving of righteousness, be ruling in life through the one, even Jesus Christ.

18 So then, as the effect of one act of wrongdoing was that punishment came on all men, even so the effect of one act of righteousness was righteousness of life for all men.

19 Because, as numbers of men became sinners through the wrongdoing of one man, even so will great numbers get righteousness through the keeping of the word of God by one man.

20 And the law came in addition, to make wrongdoing worse; but where there was much sin, there was much more grace:

21 That, as sin had power in death, so grace might have power through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Good News Translation GNT

1 Now that we have been put right with God through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

2 He has brought us by faith into this experience of God's grace, in which we now live. And so we boast of the hope we have of sharing God's glory!

3 We also boast of our troubles, because we know that trouble produces endurance,

4 endurance brings God's approval, and his approval creates hope.

5 This hope does not disappoint us, for God has poured out his love into our hearts by means of the Holy Spirit, who is God's gift to us.

6 For when we were still helpless, Christ died for the wicked at the time that God chose.

7 It is a difficult thing for someone to die for a righteous person. It may even be that someone might dare to die for a good person.

8 But God has shown us how much he loves us - it was while we were still sinners that Christ died for us!

9 By his blood we are now put right with God; how much more, then, will we be saved by him from God's anger!

10 We were God's enemies, but he made us his friends through the death of his Son. Now that we are God's friends, how much more will we be saved by Christ's life!

11 But that is not all; we rejoice because of what God has done through our Lord Jesus Christ, who has now made us God's friends.

12 Sin came into the world through one man, and his sin brought death with it. As a result, death has spread to the whole human race because everyone has sinned.

13 There was sin in the world before the Law was given; but where there is no law, no account is kept of sins.

14 But from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, death ruled over all human beings, even over those who did not sin in the same way that Adam did when he disobeyed God's command. Adam was a figure of the one who was to come.

15 But the two are not the same, because God's free gift is not like Adam's sin. It is true that many people died because of the sin of that one man. But God's grace is much greater, and so is his free gift to so many people through the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ.

16 And there is a difference between God's gift and the sin of one man. After the one sin, came the judgment of "Guilty"; but after so many sins, comes the undeserved gift of "Not guilty!"

17 It is true that through the sin of one man death began to rule because of that one man. But how much greater is the result of what was done by the one man, Jesus Christ! All who receive God's abundant grace and are freely put right with him will rule in life through Christ.

18 So then, as the one sin condemned all people, in the same way the one righteous act sets all people free and gives them life.

19 And just as all people were made sinners as the result of the disobedience of one man, in the same way they will all be put right with God as the result of the obedience of the one man.

20 Law was introduced in order to increase wrongdoing; but where sin increased, God's grace increased much more.

21 So then, just as sin ruled by means of death, so also God's grace rules by means of righteousness, leading us to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
