4:19. And he was not weak in faith. Neither did he consider his own
body, now dead (whereas he was almost an hundred years old), nor the
dead womb of Sara.
4:20. In the promise also of God he staggered not by distrust: but was
strengthened in faith, giving glory to God:
4:21. Most fully knowing that whatsoever he has promised, he is able
also to perform.
4:22. And therefore it was reputed to him unto justice.
4:23. Now it is not written only for him. that it was reputed to him
unto justice,
4:24. But also for us, to whom it shall be reputed, if we believe in
him that raised up Jesus Christ, our Lord, from the dead,
4:25. Who was delivered up for our sins and rose again for our
justification.
Romans Chapter 5
The grounds we have for hope in Christ. Sin and death came by Adam,
grace and life by Christ.
5:1. Being justified therefore by faith, let us have peace with God,
through our Lord Jesus Christ:
5:2. By whom also we have access through faith into this grace wherein
we stand: and glory in the hope of the glory of the sons of God.
5:3. And not only so: but we glory also in tribulation, knowing that
tribulation worketh patience;
5:4. And patience trial; and trial hope;
5:5. And hope confoundeth not: because the charity of God is poured
forth in our hearts, by the Holy Ghost who is given to us.
5:6. For why did Christ, when as yet we were weak, according to the
time, die for the ungodly?
5:7. For scarce for a just man will one die: yet perhaps for a good man
some one would dare to die.
5:8. But God commendeth his charity towards us: because when as yet we
were sinners according to the time.
5:9. Christ died for us. Much more therefore, being now justified by
his blood, shall we be saved from wrath through him.
5:10. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the
death of his Son: much more, being reconciled, shall we be saved by his
life.
5:11. And not only so: but also we glory in God, through our Lord Jesus
Christ, by whom we have now received reconciliation.
5:12. Wherefore as by one man sin entered into this world and by sin
death: and so death passed upon all men, in whom all have sinned.
By one man. . .Adam, from whom we all contracted original sin.
5:13. For until the law sin was in the world: but sin was not imputed,
when the law was not.
Not imputed. . .That is, men knew not, or made no account of sin,
neither was it imputed to them, in the manner it was afterwards, when
they transgressed the known written law of God.
5:14. But death reigned from Adam unto Moses, even over them also who
have not sinned, after the similitude of the transgression of Adam, who
is a figure of him who was to come.
5:15. But not as the offence, so also the gift. For if by the offence
of one, many died: much more the grace of God and the gift, by the
grace of one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
