1Because therefore that we are justified by faith we are at peace with God thorow our Lord Iesus Christ: 2by whom we have a way in thorow faith unto this faveour wherein we stand and rejoice in hope of the praise that shall be given of God. 3Neither do we so only: but also we rejoice in tribulation: For we know that tribulation bringeth patience, 4patience bringeth fealynge, fealynge bringeth hope. 5and hope maketh not ashamed, because the love that God hath unto us, is shed abroad in our hearts, by the holy ghost, which is given unto us.

6For when we were yet weak according to the time: Christ died for us which were ungodly. 7Yet scarce will any man die for a righteous man. Peradventure for a good man durst a man die. 8But God setteth out his love that he hath to us, Seeing that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9Much more then now (seeing we are justified in his blood) shall we be preserved from wrath thorow him. 10For if when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his son: much more, seeing we are reconciled, we shall be preserved by his life. 11Not only so, but we also joy in God by the means of our Lord Iesus Christ, by whom we have received this atonement.

12Wherefore as by one man sin entered into the worlde, and death by the means of sin. And so death went over all men, insomuch that all men sinned. 13For even unto the time of the law was sin in the worlde: but sin was not regarded, as long as there was no law: 14nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them also that sinned not, with like transgression as did Adam: which is the similitude of him that was to come.

15But the gift is not like as the sin. For if thorow the sin of one, many be dead: much more plenteous upon many was the faveour of God and gift by faveour: which faveour was given by one man Iesus Christ. 16And the gift is not over one sin, as death came thorow one sin of one that sinned. For damnation came of one sin unto condemnation: But the gift came to justify from many sins. 17For if by the sin of one, death reigned by the means of one, much more shall they which receive abundance of faveour and of the gift of righteousness reign in life by the means of one (that is to say) Iesus Christe.

18Likewise then as by the sin of one, condemnation came on all men: even so by the justifying of one cometh the righteousness that bringeth life, upon all men. 19For as by one man's disobedience many became sinners: so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. 20The law in the mean time entered in that sin should increase. And where abundance of sin was, there was more plenteousness of grace. 21That as sin had reigned unto death, even so might grace reign thorow righteousness unto eternal life, by the help of Iesu Christ.
