Romanos, chapter 5, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 5 Vulgate

   1 Iustificati igitur ex fide, pacem habemus ad Deum per Domi num nostrum Iesum Christum,
   2 per quem et accessum habemus fide in gratiam istam, in qua stamus et gloriamur in spe gloriae Dei.
   3 Non solum autem, sed et gloriamur in tribulationibus, scientes quod tribulatio patientiam operatur,
   4 patientia autem probationem, probatio vero spem;
   5 spes autem non confundit, quia caritas Dei diffusa est in cordibus nostris per Spiritum Sanctum, qui datus est nobis.
   6 Adhuc enim Christus, cum adhuc infirmi essemus, secundum tempus pro impiis mortuus est.
   7 Vix enim pro iusto quis moritur; nam pro bono forsitan quis et audeat mori.
   8 Commendat autem suam caritatem Deus in nos, quoniam, cum adhuc peccatores essemus, Christus pro nobis mortuus est.
   9 Multo igitur magis iustificati nunc in sanguine ipsius, salvi erimus ab ira per ipsum!
   10 Si enim, cum inimici essemus, reconciliati sumus Deo per mortem Filii eius, multo magis reconciliati salvi erimus in vita ipsius;
   11 non solum autem, sed et gloriamur in Deo per Dominum nostrum Iesum Christum, per quem nunc reconciliationem accepimus.
   12 Propterea, sicut per unum hominem peccatum in hunc mundum intravit, et per peccatum mors, et ita in omnes homines mors pertransiit, eo quod omnes peccaverunt.
   13 Usque ad legem enim peccatum erat in mundo; peccatum autem non imputatur, cum lex non est,
   14 sed regnavit mors ab Adam usque ad Moysen etiam in eos, qui non peccaverunt in similitudine praevaricationis Adae, qui est figura futuri.
   15 Sed non sicut delictum, ita et donum; si enim unius delicto multi mortui sunt, multo magis gratia Dei et donum in gratia unius hominis Iesu Christi in multos abundavit.
   16 Et non sicut per unum, qui peccavit, ita et donum; nam iudicium ex uno in condemnationem, gratia autem ex multis delictis in iustificationem.
   17 Si enim unius delicto mors regnavit per unum, multo magis, qui abundantiam gratiae et donationis iustitiae accipiunt, in vita regnabunt per unum Iesum Christum.
   18 Igitur sicut per unius delictum in omnes homines in condemnationem, sic et per unius iustitiam in omnes homines in iustificationem vitae;
   19 sicut enim per inoboedientiam unius hominis peccatores constituti sunt multi, ita et per unius oboeditionem iusti constituentur multi.
   20 Lex autem subintravit, ut abundaret delictum; ubi autem abundavit peccatum, superabundavit gratia,
   21 ut sicut regnavit peccatum in morte, ita et gratia regnet per iustitiam in vitam aeternam per Iesum Christum Dominum nostrum.

King James Version

   1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
   2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
   3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
   4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
   5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
   6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
   7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
   8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
   9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
   10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
   11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
   12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
   13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
   14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
   15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
   16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.
   17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
   18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.
   19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
   20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
   21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
