Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;

And patience, experience; and experience, hope:

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.

For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

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.

And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

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:

(For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

Copy
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.

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.
WhatsApp
Copy
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.
WhatsApp
Copy
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.)
WhatsApp
Copy
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.
WhatsApp
Copy
For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
WhatsApp
Copy
That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 5 Study & Commentary
Romans 5 explores the benefits of justification: peace with God, joy in suffering, and the certainty of hope. It contrasts the fall of Adam, which brought death to all, with the work of Christ, whose one act of righteousness brings life to all who receive Him.
CONTEMPORARY APPLICATIONS
1. Peace with God: Being justified by faith, we have "peace with God" (v. 1). This is not just a feeling, but a permanent legal standing; the war between us and our Creator is over.2. The Purpose of Tribulation: Suffering is not a sign of God’s absence, but a tool He uses to produce patience, experience, and hope (v. 3-4). We can rejoice in trials because of what they are accomplishing in us.
3. The Abundance of Grace: Where sin abounded, grace did much more abound (v. 20). No matter how deep our failure, the grace of Christ is always deeper and more powerful to restore.
