1◆ Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
1 JUSTIFICADOS pues por la fe, tenemos paz para con Dios por medio de nuestro Señor Jesucristo:
1 Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;
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 Por el cual también tenemos entrada por la fe á esta gracia en la cual estamos [firmes], y nos gloriamos en la esperanza de la gloria de Dios.
2 through whom we also have our access by faith into this grace in which we stand. We rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
3 Not only that, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance;
3 Y no sólo esto, mas aun nos gloriamos en las tribulaciones, sabiendo que la tribulación produce paciencia;
3 Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces perseverance;
4 perseverance, character; and character, hope.
4 Y la paciencia, prueba; y la prueba, esperanza;
4 and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope;
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 Y la esperanza no avergüenza; porque el amor de Dios está derramado en nuestros corazones por el Espíritu Santo que nos es dado.
5 and hope doesn’t disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
6 For at just the right time, while we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.
6 Porque Cristo, cuando aun éramos flacos, á su tiempo murió por los impíos.
6 For while we were yet weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.
7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die.
7 Ciertamente apenas muere alguno por un justo: con todo podrá ser que alguno osara morir por el bueno.
7 For one will hardly die for a righteous man. Yet perhaps for a good person someone would even dare to die.
8 But God proves His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
8 Mas Dios encarece su caridad para con nosotros, porque siendo aún pecadores, Cristo murió por nosotros.
8 But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Therefore, since we have now been justified by His blood, how much more shall we be saved from wrath through Him!
9 Luego mucho más ahora, justificados en su sangre, por él seremos salvos de la ira.
9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we will be saved from God’s wrath through him.
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 Porque si siendo enemigos, fuimos reconciliados con Dios por la muerte de su Hijo, mucho más, estando reconciliados, seremos salvos por su vida.
10 For if while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we will be saved by his life.
11 Not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
11 Y no sólo esto, mas aun nos gloriamos en Dios por el Señor nuestro Jesucristo, por el cual hemos ahora recibido la reconciliación.
11 Not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.
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 De consiguiente, [vino la reconciliación por uno], así como el pecado entró en el mundo por un hombre, y por el pecado la muerte, y la muerte así pasó á todos los hombres, pues que todos pecaron.
12 Therefore, as sin entered into the world through one man, and death through sin, so death passed to all men because all sinned.
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 Porque hasta la ley, el pecado estaba en el mundo; pero no se imputa pecado no habiendo ley.
13 For until the law, sin was in the world; but sin is not charged when there is no law.
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 No obstante, reinó la muerte desde Adam hasta Moisés, aun en los que no pecaron á la manera de la rebelión de Adam; el cual es figura del que había de venir.
14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those whose sins weren’t like Adam’s disobedience, who is a foreshadowing of him who was to come.
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 Mas no como el delito, tal fué el don: porque si por el delito de aquel uno murieron los muchos, mucho más abundó la gracia de Dios á los muchos, y el don por la gracia de un hombre, Jesucristo.
15 But the free gift isn’t like the trespass. For if by the trespass of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many.
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 Ni tampoco de la manera que por un pecado, [así] también el don: porque el juicio á la verdad [vino] de un [pecado] para condenación, mas la gracia [vino] de muchos delitos para justificación.
16 The gift is not as through one who sinned; for the judgment came by one to condemnation, but the free gift followed many trespasses to justification.
17 For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive an abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!
17 Porque, si por un delito reinó la muerte por uno, mucho más reinarán en vida por un Jesucristo los que reciben la abundancia de la gracia, y del don de la justicia.
17 For if by the trespass of the one, death reigned through the one; so much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Jesus Christ.
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 Así que, de la manera que por un delito [vino la culpa] á todos los hombres para condenación, así por una justicia [vino la gracia] á todos los hombres para justificación de vida.
18 So then as through one trespass, all men were condemned; even so through one act of righteousness, all men were justified to life.
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 Porque como por la desobediencia de un hombre los muchos fueron constituídos pecadores, así por la obediencia de uno los muchos serán constituídos justos.
19 For as through the one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the one, many will be made righteous.
20 The law came in so that the trespass would increase; but where sin increased, grace increased all the more,
20 La ley empero entró para que el pecado creciese; mas cuando el pecado creció, sobrepujó la gracia;
20 The law came in that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace abounded more exceedingly,
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 Para que, de la manera que el pecado reinó para muerte, así también la gracia reine por la justicia para vida eterna por Jesucristo Señor nuestro.
21 that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Why does my Bible say something different?
- Romans 5:1: “we have peace” or “let us have peace”?
Most English Bibles read “being justified by faith, we have peace with God.” The Douay-Rheims reads “let us have peace.” The difference in Greek is a single vowel, echomen or echōmen, which sounded alike when read aloud. The oldest manuscripts mostly favour “let us have,” but most scholars and the Patriarchal Text read “we have.” The teaching of the passage is the same either way.
What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
As the best physicians always take great pains to discover the source of diseases, and go to the very fountain of the mischief, so doth the blessed Paul also.

Concurring with these statements, Paul, speaking to the Romans, declares: "Much more they who receive abundance of grace and righteousness for [eternal] life, shall reign by one, Christ Jesus." It follows from this, that he knew nothing of that Christ who flew away from Jesus; nor did he of the Saviour above, whom they hold to be impassible.
… not then my friend, nor, indeed, afterwards, as true friendship is; for true it is not but in such as Thou bindest together, cleaving unto Thee by that love which is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost, which is given unto us. But yet it was too sweet, being ripened by the fervour of similar studies.

"For if when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God, much more, being reconciled, shall we be saved." "But this way," it will be said, "is strait and narrow." Well, but the former, through which thou hast come, is not strait and narrow only, but even impassable, and full of savage wild beasts.

Moreover one man's sin, even Adam's, had power to bring death to the world; but if by the trespass of the one death reigned over the world, how shall not life much rather reign by the righteousness of the One?
