Berean Standard BibleKing James Version

1. The Triumph of Faith

2. 1BSBTherefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,KJVKJV: Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
3. 2BSBthrough whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.KJVKJV: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
4. 3BSBNot only that, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance;KJVKJV: And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
5. 4BSBperseverance, character; and character, hope.KJVKJV: And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
6. 5BSBAnd hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us.KJVKJV: 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.

7. Christ’s Sacrifice for the Ungodly

   (John 3:1–21)

8. 6BSBFor at just the right time, while we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.KJVKJV: For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
9. 7BSBVery rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die.KJVKJV: For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
10. 8BSBBut God proves His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.KJVKJV: But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
11. 9BSBTherefore, since we have now been justified by His blood, how much more shall we be saved from wrath through Him!KJVKJV: Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
12. 10BSBFor if, when we were enemies of God, we were reconciled to Him through the death of His Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through His life!KJVKJV: 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.
13. 11BSBNot only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.KJVKJV: And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

14. Death in Adam, Life in Christ

    (Genesis 3:1–7)

15. 12BSBTherefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, so also death was passed on to all men, because all sinned.KJVKJV: 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:
16. 13BSBFor sin was in the world before the law was given; but sin is not taken into account when there is no law.KJVKJV: (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
17. 14BSBNevertheless, death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who did not sin in the way that Adam transgressed. He is a pattern of the One to come.KJVKJV: 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.
18. 15BSBBut the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many!KJVKJV: 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.
19. 16BSBAgain, the gift is not like the result of the one man’s sin: The judgment that followed one sin brought condemnation, but the gift that followed many trespasses brought justification.KJVKJV: 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.
20. 17BSBFor if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!KJVKJV: 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.)
21. 18BSBSo then, just as one trespass brought condemnation for all men, so also one act of righteousness brought justification and life for all men.KJVKJV: 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.
22. 19BSBFor just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.KJVKJV: For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
23. 20BSBThe law came in so that the trespass would increase; but where sin increased, grace increased all the more,KJVKJV: Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
24. 21BSBso that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.KJVKJV: That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
