¶The .v. Chapter.

1 The fruite of fayth. 7 The loue of God, and obedience of Christe. 12 From whence commeth death, and from whence lyfe.

[unspec A] 1 THerefore being iu∣stified by fayth, we are * 1.1 at (a) 1.2 peace with GOD, tho∣rowe our Lorde Iesus Christe:

2 By whom also we haue had an entraūce by fayth, vnto this grace wherin we stande, and reioyce in hope of the glorie of God.* 1.3

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 (b) 1.4 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, accor∣dyng 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 * 1.5 God setteth out his loue to∣warde 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.

[unspec B] 10 For, yf when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his sonne: much more, seyng we are re∣conciled, we shalbe saued by his lyfe.

11 Not only so, but we also ioye in God, through our Lorde Iesus Christe, by whō we haue nowe receaued the atone∣ment.

12 Wherfore, as by one man sinne entred into the worlde, & * 1.6 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.

[unspec C] 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, * 1.7 which is by one man Iesus Christe, hath abounded vnto many.

16 And not as by one that sinned [euen so] [unspec D] the gyft. For the iudgement was of one into condemnation: but the gyfte, (d) 1.8 of many sinnes into iustification.

17 For yf by the sinne of one, death raig∣ned 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 condempnati∣on: euen so, by the ryghteousnes of one [good came] vpon all men to the ryghte∣ousnes of lyfe.

19 For as by one mans disobedience ma∣ny became sinners: so by the obedience of one, shall many be made ryghteous.

20 But * 1.9 the lawe in the meane tyme en∣tred 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 tho∣rowe ryghteousnes vnto eternall lyfe, by Iesus Christe our Lorde.

  Both for that the hope of the godly is not disapoyn∣ted of y^e which they hope for, and also for that they are not ashamed of any afflictiō in this world, as the world∣ly mynded be: but constantly abide without shame, what∣soeuer trouble god doth send to them.
