Romans 5

1 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

1 我们既然因信被称为义人，就借着我们的主耶稣基督与上帝和好了。

2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.

2 我们又靠着祂，借着信进入现在所站的这恩典中，欢欢喜喜地盼望分享上帝的荣耀。

3 Not only that, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance;

3 不但如此，我们在苦难中也欢喜，因为知道苦难使人生忍耐，

4 perseverance, character; and character, hope.

4 忍耐生品格，品格生盼望。

5 And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us.

5 这种盼望不会落空，因为上帝的爱借着所赐给我们的圣灵已倾注在我们心中。

6 For at just the right time, while we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.

6 当我们还软弱无助的时候，基督就在所定的日期为罪人死了。

7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die.

7 为义人死，是罕见的；为好人死，也许有敢做的；

8 But God proves His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

8 但基督却在我们还做罪人的时候为我们死！上帝的爱就这样显明了。

9 Therefore, since we have now been justified by His blood, how much more shall we be saved from wrath through Him!

9 现在，我们既然因基督所流的血被称为义人，岂不更要靠着祂免受上帝的烈怒吗？

10 For if, when we were enemies of God, we were reconciled to Him through the death of His Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through His life!

10 我们如果还与上帝为敌的时候，尚且可以借着祂儿子的死亡与祂和好，和好之后岂不更要借着祂儿子的生命得到拯救吗？

11 Not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

11 不但如此，我们借着主耶稣基督与上帝和好之后，还要借着祂以上帝为乐。

12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, so also death was passed on to all men, because all sinned.

12 因此，罪怎样从一个人进入世界并带来死亡，死亡也怎样临到世人，因为世人都犯了罪。

13 For sin was in the world before the law was given; but sin is not taken into account when there is no law.

13 没有律法之前，罪已经在世上；但没有律法，罪也不算为罪。

14 Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who did not sin in the way that Adam transgressed. He is a pattern of the One to come.

14 其实，从亚当到摩西的时代，死亡一直辖制着人类，甚至连那些不与亚当犯同样罪的人也不能幸免。亚当是将要来的那位的预表。

15 But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many!

15 然而，上帝的洪恩远超过亚当的过犯。若因这一人的过犯，众人都要死亡，那么上帝的恩典，也就是通过耶稣基督一人所赐的恩典，岂不要更丰富地临到众人吗？

16 Again, the gift is not like the result of the one man’s sin: The judgment that followed one sin brought condemnation, but the gift that followed many trespasses brought justification.

16 再者，上帝的恩赐不同于一人犯罪的后果。因为随一人犯罪而来的审判使人被定罪，随累累过犯而来的恩赐使人被称为义人。

17 For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!

17 若因一人的过犯，死亡就借着这人做了王，那么接受上帝洪恩又得到祂所赐之义的人，岂不更要借着耶稣基督一人在生命中做王吗？

18 So then, just as one trespass brought condemnation for all men, so also one act of righteousness brought justification and life for all men.

18 如此说来，因为一次过犯，众人都被定罪；照样，因为一次义行，众人都被称为义人，得到生命。

19 For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.

19 因为一人的悖逆，众人成为罪人；照样，因为一人的顺服，众人将被称为义人。

20 The law came in so that the trespass would increase; but where sin increased, grace increased all the more,

20 律法的颁布，使过犯更多地显出来，只是哪里的罪越多，哪里的恩典就越丰富。

21 so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

21 所以，罪怎样掌权带来死亡 ，恩典也照样借着义掌权，为要借着我们主耶稣基督带来永生。
