Na, i te mea ka tika nei i te whakapono, kia mau ta tatou maunga rongo ki te Atua, he mea na to tatou Ariki, na Ihu Karaiti;

Nana nei te whakatatanga i a tatou i runga i te whakapono ki tenei aroha noa e tu nei tatou; a kia hari tatou i te mea ka tumanako nei tatou ki te kororia o te Atua.

A ehara i te mea ko tera anake, engari kia whakamanamana ano tatou ki o tatou mamae: e mohio ana hoki ko ta te mamae e mahi ai he manawanui;

Ko ta te manawanui he matauranga; ko ta te matauranga he tumanako:

E kore ano e whakama i te mea ka tumanako nei: kua ringihia hoki te aroha o te Atua ki o tatou ngakau e te Wairua Tapu kua homai nei ki a tatou.

I a tatou hoki e ngoikore tonu ana, i te wa i rite ai, ka mate a te Karaiti mo te hunga karakiakore.

E mate whakauaua hoki tetahi mo te tangata tika: tera pea ia tetahi e maia rawa kia mate mo te tangata pai.

Heoi e whakakitea nuitia ana e te Atua tona aroha ki a tatou, i te mea, i a tatou ano e hara ana, ka mate a te Karaiti mo tatou.

Na, i a tatou ka tika nei i ona toto, tera noa ake he whakaoranga mana i a tatou i te riri o te Atua.

10 Mehemea hoki, i te wa he hoa whawhai tatou, ka houhia ta tatou rongo ki te Atua i runga i te matenga o tana Tama, tera noa ake, i te mea ka mau nei te rongo, he whakaoranga mo tatou, i a ia kua ora nei;

11 Ehara hoki i te mea ko tera anake, engari e whakamanamana ana ano tatou ki te Atua, he mea na to tatou Ariki, na Ihu Karaiti, nana nei tenei houhanga rongo ki a tatou.

12 Na, ka rite ki te putanga mai o te hara ki te ao, he mea na te tangata kotahi, me te mate ano i runga i te hara; ka horapa te mate ki nga tangata katoa; no te mea kua hara katoa:

13 I te ao nei hoki te hara, a tae noa mai te ture: otira e kore e whakairia te hara i te mea kahore he ture.

14 Ahakoa ra he mana kingi to te mate no Arama iho ano taea noatia a Mohi, ki te hunga rawa kihai nei i rite to ratou hara ki to Arama poka ke, he ahua nei hoki ia no tenei i taria nei.

15 Otira kihai i rite ki te hara te mea i homai noa mai. Mehemea hoki na te hara o te kotahi i mate ai te tokomaha, waihoki tera noa atu te huanga ki te tokomaha o to te Atua aroha noa, o te mea homai hoki i runga i te aroha noa o te tangata kotahi, o Ihu Karaiti.

16 Kihai ano hoki i rite te mea i homai ki to te kotahi i hara: no te kotahi hoki te whakawa i tau ai te he; no nga hara maha ia te mea i homai noa mai hei whakatika.

17 Mehemea hoki na te hara o te kotahi i kingi ai te mate, he mea na te tangata kotahi; waihoki tera noa ake he kingitanga i runga i te ora mo te hunga ka riro nei i a ratou te aroha noa e hua tonu nei, me te tika i homai noa nei, he mea na te kota hi, ara na Ihu Karaiti.

18 Ae ra, i te mea na te hara kotahi i tau ai te he ki nga tangata katoa, waihoki na te tika kotahi i puta ai te mea homai noa ki nga tangata katoa, e tika ai, e ora ai.

19 Na, i te mea na te tutu o te tangata kotahi i whai hara ai te tokomaha, waihoki na te ngohengohe o te kotahi, ka meinga te tokomaha kia tika.

20 I puta mai te ture kia nui ai te hara; heoi i te hara e nui noa ana, kua hua noa ake te aroha noa:

21 He mea hoki, i te hanga ko te hara te kingi i roto i te mate, kia kingi hoki ko te aroha noa i runga o te tika ki te ora tonu, he meatanga na Ihu Karaiti, na to tatou Ariki.

Peace and Hope

Therefore, since we have been justified(A) through faith,(B) we[a] have peace(C) with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,(D) through whom we have gained access(E) by faith into this grace in which we now stand.(F) And we[b] boast in the hope(G) of the glory of God. Not only so, but we[c] also glory in our sufferings,(H) because we know that suffering produces perseverance;(I) perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope(J) does not put us to shame, because God’s love(K) has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit,(L) who has been given to us.

You see, at just the right time,(M) when we were still powerless,(N) Christ died for the ungodly.(O) Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.(P)

Since we have now been justified(Q) by his blood,(R) how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath(S) through him! 10 For if, while we were God’s enemies,(T) we were reconciled(U) to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!(V) 11 Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.(W)

Death Through Adam, Life Through Christ

12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man,(X) and death through sin,(Y) and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned(Z)

13 To be sure, sin was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not charged against anyone’s account where there is no law.(AA) 14 Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam,(AB) who is a pattern of the one to come.(AC)

15 But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man,(AD) how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ,(AE) overflow to the many! 16 Nor can the gift of God be compared with the result of one man’s sin: The judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation, but the gift followed many trespasses and brought justification. 17 For if, by the trespass of the one man, death(AF) reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life(AG) through the one man, Jesus Christ!

18 Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people,(AH) so also one righteous act resulted in justification(AI) and life(AJ) for all people. 19 For just as through the disobedience of the one man(AK) the many were made sinners,(AL) so also through the obedience(AM) of the one man the many will be made righteous.

20 The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase.(AN) But where sin increased, grace increased all the more,(AO) 21 so that, just as sin reigned in death,(AP) so also grace(AQ) might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life(AR) through Jesus Christ our Lord.

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 commendeth 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.

10 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.

11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

12 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:

13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

14 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.

15 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.

16 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.

17 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.)

18 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.

19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:

21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
