Romans 5 Free Bible Version
Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1◆ Now that we have been made right by God by trusting in him, we have peace with him through our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 JUSTIFICADOS pues por la fe, tenemos paz para con Dios por medio de nuestro Señor Jesucristo:
2 It's through Jesus, trusting in him, that we've gained access to this position of grace where we now stand, looking forward with happiness and confidence to sharing in God's glory.
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.
3 Not only this—we also remain confident when problems come, because we know that experiencing problems develops spiritual stamina.
3 Y no sólo esto, mas aun nos gloriamos en las tribulaciones, sabiendo que la tribulación produce paciencia;
4 Spiritual stamina in turn develops a mature character, and this mature character results in confident hope.
4 Y la paciencia, prueba; y la prueba, esperanza;
5 Since we have this hope we're never disappointed, for God's love has been poured into us through the Holy Spirit he's 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.
6 When we were completely helpless, at just the right time Christ died for us ungodly people.
6 Porque Cristo, cuando aun éramos flacos, á su tiempo murió por los impíos.
7 Who would die for anybody else, even someone who does what's right? (Though perhaps somebody would be brave enough to die for someone really good.)
7 Ciertamente apenas muere alguno por un justo: con todo podrá ser que alguno osara morir por el bueno.
8 But God demonstrates his love for us in that Christ died for us while we were still sinners.
8 Mas Dios encarece su caridad para con nosotros, porque siendo aún pecadores, Cristo murió por nosotros.
9 Now that we are made right by his death, we can be absolutely sure we'll be saved by him from the coming judgment.
9 Luego mucho más ahora, justificados en su sangre, por él seremos salvos de la ira.
10 While we were his enemies, God made us his friends through the death of his Son, and so we can be absolutely sure that he will save us through the life of his Son.
10 Porque si siendo enemigos, fuimos reconciliados con Dios por la muerte de su Hijo, mucho más, estando reconciliados, seremos salvos por su vida.
11 In addition to this we now celebrate what God has done through our Lord Jesus Christ to reconcile us and make us his friends.
11 Y no sólo esto, mas aun nos gloriamos en Dios por el Señor nuestro Jesucristo, por el cual hemos ahora recibido la reconciliación.
12 For through one man sin entered the world, and sin led to death. In this way death came to everyone, for everyone 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.
13 Even before the law was given, sin was in the world, however it wasn't counted as sin because there was no law.
13 Porque hasta la ley, el pecado estaba en el mundo; pero no se imputa pecado no habiendo ley.
14 But death still ruled from Adam until Moses, even over those who didn't sin in the same way as Adam did. Now Adam prefigured 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.
15 But the gift of Jesus is not like the sin of Adam. Though many people died because of one man's sin, God's grace is so much greater and has been shared with so many through his gracious gift in the person of Jesus Christ.
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.
16 The result of the gift is not like that of the sin. The result of Adam's sin was judgment and condemnation, but the gift sets us right with God, despite our many sins.
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.
17 As a result of one man's sin, death ruled because of him. But God's grace is so much greater and his gift sets us right, for everyone who receives it will rule in life through the person of 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.
18 Just as one sin brought condemnation on everyone, in the same way one right act gave everyone the opportunity to live right.
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.
19 Just as through one man's disobedience many became sinners, in the same way through one man's obedience many are made right with God.
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.
20 When the law was introduced, sin became even more obvious. But while sin became much more obvious, grace became even more obvious!
20 La ley empero entró para que el pecado creciese; mas cuando el pecado creció, sobrepujó la gracia;
21 Just as sin ruled us and brought us death, now grace rules by making us right with God, bringing us 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.

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?
