The
Expectation of Justification
1
Therefore,
since we have been declared righteous by faith, we have peace with God through
our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom we have also obtained access
into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in the hope of God’s glory. 3 Not
only this, but we also rejoice in sufferings, knowing that suffering produces
endurance, 4 and endurance, character, and character, hope. 5 And
hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our
hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
6 For while we were still
helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 (For
rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person perhaps
someone might possibly dare to die.) 8 But God demonstrates his own
love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much
more then, because we have now been declared righteous by his blood, we will be
saved through him from God’s wrath. 10 For if while we were enemies
we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, how much more, since we
have been reconciled, will we be saved by his life? 11 Not only
this, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we
have now received this reconciliation.
12 So then, just as sin entered
the world through one man and death through sin, and so death spread to all
people because all sinned— 13 for before the law was given, sin was
in the world, but there is no accounting for sin when there is no law. 14 Yet
death reigned from Adam until Moses even over those who did not sin in the same
way that Adam (who is a type of the coming one) transgressed. 15 But
the gracious gift is not like the transgression. For if the many died through
the transgression of the one man, how much more did the grace of God and the
gift by the grace of the one man Jesus Christ multiply to the many! 16 And
the gift is not like the one who sinned. For judgment, resulting from the one
transgression, led to condemnation, but the gracious gift from the many
failures led to justification. 17 For if, by the transgression of
the one man, death reigned through the one, how much more will those who
receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life
through the one, Jesus Christ!
18 Consequently, just as
condemnation for all people came through one transgression, so too through the
one righteous act came righteousness leading to life for all people. 19 For
just as through the disobedience of the one man many were constituted sinners,
so also through the obedience of one man many will be constituted righteous. 20 Now
the law came in so that the transgression may increase, but where sin
increased, grace multiplied all the more, 21 so that just as sin
reigned in death, so also grace will reign through righteousness to eternal
life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 8;19-21
For
the creation eagerly waits for the revelation of the sons of God. For the
creation was subjected to futility—not willingly but because of God who
subjected it—in hope that the creation itself will also be set free from the
bondage of decay into the glorious freedom of God’s children.
