Atonement

THEREFORE being justified by faith,

we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

By whom also we have access by

faith into this grace wherein we stand,

and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also:

knowing that tribulation worketh patience;

And patience, experience;

and experience, hope:

And hope maketh not ashamed;

because the love of God is shed abroad in our

hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

For when we were yet without strength,

in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

For scarcely for a righteous man will one die:

yet peradventure for a good man

some would even dare to die.

But God commandeth his love toward us, in that,

while we were yet sinners,

Christ died for us.

Much more then, being now justified by his blood,

we shall be saved from wrath through him.

For if, when we were enemies, 

we were reconciled to God by the death of

his Son, much more, being reconciled, 

we shall be saved by his life.

And not only so, but we also joy in 

God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

by whom we have now received the atonement.

Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into

the world,

and death by sin:

and so death passed upon all men,

for that all have sinned:

( For until the law sin was in the world: 

but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

Nevertheless death reigned from 

Adam to moses, even over them that 

had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression,

who is the figure of him that was to come.

But not as the offence,

so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one 

many be dead, much more the grace of God,

and the gift by grace,

which is by one man, 

Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

And not as it was by one that sinned,

so is the gift: for the judgment was by

one to condemnation,

but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.

For if by one man's offence death reigned by one;

much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the 

gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, 

Jesus Christ.)

Therefore as by the offence of one 

judgment came upon all men to condemnation;

even so by the righteousness of one the

free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.

For as by one man's disobedience many 

were made sinners, so by the obedience of one

shall many be made righteous.

Moreover the law entered that the

offence might abound.

But where sin abounded,

grace did much more abound:

That as sin hath reigned unto death,

even so might grace reign through righteousness unto 

eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
