:5] and the hope makes
not ashamed, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts
through the Holy Spirit given us. [5:6]For when we were yet weak, in
due time Christ died for the wicked; [5:7]for scarcely for a righteous
man will one die, but for a good man some one perhaps would even dare
to die; [5:8]but God commends his love to us, that while we were yet
sinners Christ died for us; [5:9]much more then being now justified by
his blood, we shall be saved through him from wrath. [5:10]For if when
enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much
more having become reconciled we shall be saved in his life. [5:11]And
not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
through whom we received the present reconciliation.

7 [5:12]Therefore, as through one man sin entered into the world and
death through sin, and so came upon all men because all sinned,--
[5:13]for till the law there was sin in the world, but sin is not
accounted where there is no law [5:14]but death reigned from Adam till
Moses even over those that sinned not after the similitude Adam's
transgression, who is a type of him that was to come; [5:15]but not as
the fall so also is the gift; for if by the fall of one the many died,
much more the grace of God and the gift by grace which is of the one
man Jesus Christ, abounded to the many; [5:16]and not as through one
that sinned is the gift; for the judgment was by one to condemnation,
but the gift was from many sins to a righteous ordinance; [5:17]for if
by one fall death reigned through the one, much more those who receive
the abundance of the grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign
in life through the one, Jesus Christ;-- [5:18]therefore, as through
the fall of one [judgment came] on all men to condemnation, so also
through the righteous ordinance of one [the gift comes] on all men to
justification of life; [5:19]for as through the disobedience of the one
man the many were constituted sinners, so also through the obedience of
the one shall the many be constituted righteous. [5:20]For the law
supervened that the fall might abound; but where the sin abounded the
grace was superabundant, [5:21]that as sin reigned in death, so the
grace shall reign through righteousness in life eternal through Jesus
Christ our Lord.

CHAPTER IV.

SIN IS ON NO ACCOUNT TO BE ALLOWED.

1 [6:1]WHAT shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that the grace
may a
