New Testament

Romans 5:6-16 Modern English Version (MEV)

6. While we were yet weak, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

7. Rarely for a righteous man will one die. Yet perhaps for a good man some would even dare to die.

8. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

9. How much more then, being now justified by His blood, shall we be saved from wrath through Him.

10. For 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.

11. Furthermore, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

12. Therefore as sin came into the world through one man and death through sin, so death has spread to all men, because all have sinned.

13. For until the law, sin was in the world. But sin is not counted when there is no law.

14. Nevertheless 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.

15. But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if through the trespass of one man many died, 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.

16. The 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.
