1◆ Having been declared righteous, then, by faith, we have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
1 JUSTIFICADOS pues por la fe, tenemos paz para con Dios por medio de nuestro Señor Jesucristo:
2 through whom also we have the access by faith into this grace in which we have stood, and we boast on 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.
3 And not only [so], but we also boast in the tribulations, knowing that the tribulation works endurance;
3 Y no sólo esto, mas aun nos gloriamos en las tribulaciones, sabiendo que la tribulación produce paciencia;
4 and the endurance, experience; and the experience, hope;
4 Y la paciencia, prueba; y la prueba, esperanza;
5 and the hope does not make ashamed, because the love of God has been poured forth in our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to 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 For in our being still ailing, Christ in due time died for the impious;
6 Porque Cristo, cuando aun éramos flacos, á su tiempo murió por los impíos.
7 for scarcely for a righteous man will anyone die, for the good man perhaps someone also dares to die;
7 Ciertamente apenas muere alguno por un justo: con todo podrá ser que alguno osara morir por el bueno.
8 and God commends His own love to us, that, in our being still sinners, Christ died for us;
8 Mas Dios encarece su caridad para con nosotros, porque siendo aún pecadores, Cristo murió por nosotros.
9 much more, then, having been declared righteous now in His blood, we will be saved through Him from the wrath;
9 Luego mucho más ahora, justificados en su sangre, por él seremos salvos de la ira.
10 for if, being enemies, we have been reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we will be saved in 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.
11 And not only [so], but we are also boasting in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we now received the 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.
12 because of this, even as through one man sin entered into the world, and through sin—death; and thus to all men death passed through, for that 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.
13 for until law sin was in the world: and sin is not reckoned when there is not law;
13 Porque hasta la ley, el pecado estaba en el mundo; pero no se imputa pecado no habiendo ley.
14 but death reigned from Adam until Moses, even on those having not sinned in the likeness of Adam’s transgression, who is a type of Him who is coming.
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 not as the offense so also [is] the free gift; for if by the offense of the one the many died, much more the grace of God, and the free gift in 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.
16 and not as through one who sinned [is] the free gift, for the judgment indeed [is] of one to condemnation, but the gift [is] of many offenses to a declaration of “Righteous,”
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 for if by the offense of the one death reigned through the one, much more those who are receiving the abundance of grace and of the free gift of righteousness, in life will reign through the one—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 So, then, as through one offense to all men [it is] to condemnation, so also through one declaration of “Righteous” [it is] to all men to justification of life;
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 for as through the disobedience of the one man, the many were constituted sinners: so also through the obedience of the One, will the many be constituted 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.
20 And law came in, that the offense might abound, and where sin abounded, grace hyper-abounded,
20 La ley empero entró para que el pecado creciese; mas cuando el pecado creció, sobrepujó la gracia;
21 that even as sin reigned in death, so also grace may reign, through righteousness, to continuous 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?
