CHAP. V.

1 He declareth the frute of faith 7 And by comparison setteth forthe the loue of God and obedience of Christ, which is the fundacion and grounde of the same-

1 THen being iustified by faith, we hauea 1.1 peace towarde God through our Lord Iesus Christ.

2 *By whome also we haue accesse through faith vnto this grace, where in we stand, and reioyce vnder the hope of the glorie of God.

3 Nether (do we so) onely, but also we * reioy∣ce in tribulations, knowing that tribulation bringeth forthe patience,* 1.2

4 And patience experience, and experience* 1.3 hope,

5 And hope maketh notb 1.4 ashamed, because thec 1.5 loue of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the holie Gost, which is giuen vnto vs.

6 For Christ, when we were yet of no∣strength, at (his) time, dyed for the* 1.6 * vn∣godlie.* 1.7

7 Douteles one wil scarse dye for ad 1.8 righteous man: but yet for ac 1.9 good man it may be that one dare dye.

8 But God setteth out his loue towarde vs, seing that while we were yet sinners, Christ dyed for vs.

9 〈◊〉〈◊〉 more then, being now iustified by his blood, we shal be saued from wrath through him.

10 For if when we weref 1.10 enemies, we were re∣conciled to God by the death of his Sonne, muche more being reconciled, we shalbe sa∣ued by his life.

11 And not onely (so) but we also reioyce in God through our Lord Iesus Christ, by whome we haue now receiued the atonement.

12 Wherefore, as by one man sinne, entred into the worlde, and death by sinne, and so death went ouer all men: for asmuche as all men ha∣ue sinned.

13 For vnto theg 1.11 time of the Law was sinne in the worlde, but sinne is not imputed, whille there is no Law.

14 But death reigned from Adam to Moses euen ouer thē also that sinned noth 1.12 after the like maner of the trāsgressiō ofi 1.13 Adā which was the figure ofk 1.14 him that was to come.

15 But yet the gift is not so, as is the offence: for if through the offence of one, many be dead

muche more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man Iesus Christ, hath abunded vnto many.

16 Nether is the gift (so,) as (that which entred in) by one that sinned: for the faute (came) of one (offence) vnto condēnacion: but the gift (is)l 1.15 of many offences to iustification.

17 For if by the offence of one, death reigned through one, muche more shal they which receiue the abundance of grace, and of the gift ofm 1.16 righteousnes, reigne in life through one, (that is) Iesus Christ.

18 Likewise thē as by the offence of one (the faute came) on all men to condemnation, so by the iustifying of one (the benefit abūded) towardn 1.17 all men to the iustification of life.

19 For as by one mans disobediēce many were made sinners, so by the obediēce of one shal many also be made righteous.

20 Moreouer theo 1.18 Law entred thereup on that the offence shuldp 1.19 abūde: neuertheles where sinne abunded, (there) grace abunded much more?

21 That as sinne had reigned vnto death, so might grace also reigne by righteousnes vn∣to eternallife, through Iesus Christ, our Lord
