¹ Therefore being iustified by fayth, we are at peace with god, thorowe our Lorde Iesus Christe:² By whom also we haue had an entrauce by fayth, vnto this grace wherin we stande, and reioyce in hope of the glorie of God.³ Not that only: but also we reioyce in tribulations, knowyng that tribulation worketh pacience:⁴ Pacience profe, profe hope:⁵ And hope maketh not ashamed, because the loue of God is shedde abrode in our heartes by the holy ghost, which is geuen vnto vs.

⁶ For when we were yet weake, accordyng to the tyme, Christe dyed for the vngodly.⁷ Nowe scace wyll any man dye for the righteous: Yet peraduenture for the good some men durst dye.⁸ But God setteth out his loue towarde vs, seyng that whyle we were yet sinners, Christe dyed for vs.⁹ Muche more then nowe, we that are iustified by his blood, shalbe saued from wrath through hym.¹⁰ For, yf when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his sonne: much more, seyng we are reconciled, we shalbe saued by his lyfe.¹¹ Not only so, but we also ioye in God, through our Lorde Iesus Christe, by who we haue nowe receaued the atonement.¹² Wherfore, as by one man sinne entred into the worlde, & death by sinne: euen so, death entred into all men, insomuch as all haue sinned.¹³ For vnto the lawe, was sinne in the worlde: but sinne is not imputed when there is no lawe.¹⁴ Neuerthelesse, death raigned from Adam to Moyses, ouer them also that had not sinned with lyke transgression as dyd Adam, whiche is the figure of hym that was to come.¹⁵ But not as the sinne, so is the gyft. For yf through the sinne of one many be dead: much more the grace of God, and the gyft by grace, which is by one man Iesus Christe, hath abounded vnto many.¹⁶ And not as by one that sinned [euen so] the gyft. For the iudgement was of one into condemnation: but the gyfte, of many sinnes into iustification.¹⁷ For yf by the sinne of one, death raigned by the meanes of one: much more they, whiche receaue aboundaunce of grace, and of the gyfte of ryghteousnes, shall raigne in life by the meanes of one, Iesus Christe.¹⁸ Lykewyse then, as by the sinne of one [sinne came] on all men to condempnation: euen so, by the ryghteousnes of one [good came] vpon all men to the ryghteousnes of lyfe.¹⁹ For as by one mans disobedience many became sinners: so by the obedience of one, shall many be made ryghteous.²⁰ But the lawe in the meane tyme entred in, that sinne shoulde encrease. But where sinne was plenteous, grace was more plenteous.²¹ That as sinne hath raigned vnto death: euen so myght grace raigne thorowe ryghteousnes vnto eternall lyfe, by Iesus Christe our Lorde.
