5. 4DBYand endurance, experience; and experience, hope;BSBBSB: perseverance, character; and character, hope.
6. 5DBYand hope does not make ashamed, because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit which has been given to us:BSBBSB: And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us.

7. Christ’s Sacrifice for the Ungodly

   (John 3:1–21)

8. 6DBYfor we being still without strength, in the due time Christ has died for the ungodly.BSBBSB: For at just the right time, while we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.
9. 7DBYFor scarcely for the just man will one die, for perhaps for the good man some one might also dare to die;BSBBSB: Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die.
10. 8DBYbut God commends his love to us, in that, we being still sinners, Christ has died for us.BSBBSB: But God proves His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
11. 9DBYMuch rather therefore, having been now justified in the power of his blood, we shall be saved by him from wrath.BSBBSB: Therefore, since we have now been justified by His blood, how much more shall we be saved from wrath through Him!
12. 10DBYFor if, being enemies, we have been reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much rather, having been reconciled, we shall be saved in the power of his life.BSBBSB: For 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!

14. Death in Adam, Life in Christ

    (Genesis 3:1–7)

15. 12DBYFor this cause, even as by one man sin entered into the world, and by sin death; and thus death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:BSBBSB: Therefore, 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.
16. 13DBY(for until law sin was in the world; but sin is not put to account when there is no law;BSBBSB: For sin was in the world before the law was given; but sin is not taken into account when there is no law.
17. 14DBYbut death reigned from Adam until Moses, even upon those who had not sinned in the likeness of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him to come.BSBBSB: Nevertheless, 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.
18. 15DBYBut shall not the act of favour be as the offence? For if by the offence of one the many have died, much rather has the grace of God, and the free gift in grace, which is by the one man Jesus Christ, abounded unto the many.BSBBSB: But 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!
19. 16DBYAnd shall not as by one that has sinned be the gift? For the judgment was of one to condemnation, but the act of favour, of many offences unto justification.BSBBSB: Again, 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.
20. 17DBYFor if by the offence of the one death reigned by the one, much rather shall those who receive the abundance of grace, and of the free gift of righteousness, reign in life by the one Jesus Christ:)BSBBSB: For 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!
21. 18DBYso then as it was by one offence towards all men to condemnation, so by one righteousness towards all men for justification of life.BSBBSB: So then, just as one trespass brought condemnation for all men, so also one act of righteousness brought justification and life for all men.
22. 19DBYFor as indeed by the disobedience of the one man the many have been constituted sinners, so also by the obedience of the one the many will be constituted righteous.BSBBSB: For 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.
23. 20DBYBut law came in, in order that the offence might abound; but where sin abounded grace has overabounded,BSBBSB: The law came in so that the trespass would increase; but where sin increased, grace increased all the more,
24. 21DBYin order that, even as sin has reigned in the power of death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.BSBBSB: so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
