Faith Triumphs in Trouble

1 Therefore, ahaving been justified by faith,1 we have bpeace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,  
2 athrough whom also we have access by faith into this grace bin which we stand, and crejoice in hope of the glory of God.  
3 And not only that, but awe also glory in tribulations, bknowing that tribulation produces1 perseverance;  
4 aand perseverance,1 character; and character, hope.  
5 aNow hope does not disappoint, bbecause the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.  

Christ in Our Place

6 For when we were still without strength,1 in due time aChrist died for the ungodly.  
7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die.
8 But aGod demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.  
9 Much more then, having now been justified aby His blood, we shall be saved bfrom wrath through Him.  
10 For aif when we were enemies bwe were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved cby His life.  
11 And not only that, but we also arejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.  

Death in Adam, Life in Christ

12 Therefore, just as athrough one man sin entered the world, and bdeath through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned—  
13 (For until the law sin was in the world, but asin is not imputed when there is no law.  
14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned according to the likeness of the transgression of Adam, awho is a type of Him who was to come.  
15 But the free gift is not like the1 offense. For if by the one man’s offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded ato many.  
16 And the gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned. For the judgment which came from one offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift which came from many1 offenses resulted in justification.  
17 For if by the one man’s1 offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)  
18 Therefore, as through1 one man’s offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through aone Man’s righteous act the free gift came bto all men, resulting in justification of life.  
19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by aone Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.  
20 Moreover athe law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace babounded much more,
