1◆ δικαιωθεντες ουν εκ πιστεως ειρηνην εχομεν προς τον θεον δια του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου, 2 δι ου και την προσαγωγην εσχηκαμεν τη πιστει εις την χαριν ταυτην εν η εστηκαμεν, και καυχωμεθα επ ελπιδι της δοξης του θεου. 3 ου μονον δε, αλλα και καυχωμεθα εν ταις θλιψεσιν, ειδοτες οτι η θλιψις υπομονην κατεργαζεται, 4 η δε υπομονη δοκιμην, η δε δοκιμη ελπιδα, 5 η δε ελπις ου καταισχυνει, οτι η αγαπη του θεου εκκεχυται εν ταις καρδιαις ημων δια πνευματος αγιου του δοθεντος ημιν. 6 ετι γαρ χριστος οντων ημων ασθενων κατα καιρον υπερ ασεβων απεθανεν. 7 μολις γαρ υπερ δικαιου τις αποθανειται· υπερ γαρ του αγαθου ταχα τις και τολμα αποθανειν. 8 συνιστησιν δε την εαυτου αγαπην εις ημας ο θεος, οτι ετι αμαρτωλων οντων ημων χριστος υπερ ημων απεθανεν. 9 πολλω ουν μαλλον δικαιωθεντες νυν εν τω αιματι αυτου σωθησομεθα δι αυτου απο της οργης. 10 ει γαρ εχθροι οντες κατηλλαγημεν τω θεω δια του θανατου του υιου αυτου, πολλω μαλλον καταλλαγεντες σωθησομεθα εν τη ζωη αυτου· 11 ου μονον δε, αλλα και καυχωμενοι εν τω θεω δια του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου, δι ου νυν την καταλλαγην ελαβομεν. 12 δια τουτο ωσπερ δι ενος ανθρωπου η αμαρτια εις τον κοσμον εισηλθεν και δια της αμαρτιας ο θανατος, και ουτως εις παντας ανθρωπους ο θανατος διηλθεν, εφ ω παντες ημαρτον·— 13 αχρι γαρ νομου αμαρτια ην εν κοσμω, αμαρτια δε ουκ ελλογειται μη οντος νομου· 14 αλλ εβασιλευσεν ο θανατος απο αδαμ μεχρι μωυσεως και επι τους μη αμαρτησαντας επι τω ομοιωματι της παραβασεως αδαμ, ος εστιν τυπος του μελλοντος. 15 αλλ ουχ ως το παραπτωμα, ουτως και το χαρισμα. ει γαρ τω του ενος παραπτωματι οι πολλοι απεθανον, πολλω μαλλον η χαρις του θεου και η δωρεα εν χαριτι [τη] του ενος ανθρωπου ιησου χριστου εις τους πολλους επερισσευσεν. 16 και ουχ ως δι ενος αμαρτησαντος το δωρημα· το μεν γαρ κριμα εξ ενος εις κατακριμα, το δε χαρισμα εκ πολλων παραπτωματων εις δικαιωμα. 17 ει γαρ τω του ενος παραπτωματι ο θανατος εβασιλευσεν δια του ενος, πολλω μαλλον οι την περισσειαν της χαριτος και της δωρεας της δικαιοσυνης λαμβανοντες εν ζωη βασιλευσουσιν δια του ενος ιησου χριστου. 18 αρα ουν ως δι ενος παραπτωματος εις παντας ανθρωπους εις κατακριμα, ουτως και δι ενος δικαιωματος εις παντας ανθρωπους εις δικαιωσιν ζωης. 19 ωσπερ γαρ δια της παρακοης του ενος ανθρωπου αμαρτωλοι κατεσταθησαν οι πολλοι, ουτως και δια της υπακοης του ενος δικαιοι κατασταθησονται οι πολλοι. 20 νομος δε παρεισηλθεν ινα πλεοναση το παραπτωμα. ου δε επλεονασεν η αμαρτια, υπερεπερισσευσεν η χαρις, 21 ινα ωσπερ εβασιλευσεν η αμαρτια εν τω θανατω, ουτως και η χαρις βασιλευση δια δικαιοσυνης εις ζωην αιωνιον δια ιησου χριστου του κυριου ημων.

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?
