Chapter 5 of Romans—New American Standard Bible (NASB)

  1. 1Therefore, having been justified by faith, [a]2we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
  2. through whom also we have 3obtained our introduction by faith into this grace 4in which we stand; and [b]we exult in hope of the glory of God.
  3. 5And not only this, but [c]we also 6exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about 7perseverance;
  4. and 8perseverance, 9proven character; and proven character, hope;
  5. and hope 10does not disappoint, because the love of God has been 11poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
  6. ¶ For while we were still 12helpless, 13at the right time 14Christ died for the ungodly.
  7. For one will hardly die for a righteous man; [d]though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die.
  8. But God 15demonstrates 16His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, 17Christ died for us.
  9. Much more then, having now been justified [e]18by His blood, we shall be saved 19from the wrath of God through Him.
  10. For if while we were 20enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved [f]21by His life.
  11. 22And not only this, [g]but we also exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received 23the reconciliation.
  12. ¶ Therefore, just as through 24one man sin entered into the world, and 25death through sin, and 26so death spread to all men, because all sinned—
  13. for [h]until the Law sin was in the world, but 27sin is not imputed when there is no law.
  14. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who had not sinned 28in the likeness of the offense of Adam, who is a [i]29type of Him who was to come.
  15. ¶ But [j]the free gift is not like the transgression. For if by the transgression of 30the one 31the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by 32the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many.
  16. The gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned; for on the one hand 33the judgment arose from one transgression [k]resulting in condemnation, but on the other hand the free gift arose from many transgressions [l]resulting in justification.
  17. For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned 34through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will 35reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.
  18. ¶ So then as through 36one transgression [m]there resulted condemnation to all men, even so through one 37act of righteousness [n]there resulted 38justification of life to all men.
  19. For as through the one man’s disobedience 39the many 40were made sinners, even so through 41the obedience of the One 42the many will be made righteous.
  20. [o]43The Law came in so that the transgression would increase; but where sin increased, 44grace abounded all the more,
  21. so that, as 45sin reigned in death, even so 46grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

    The NWT adds words to the text that are not in the greek Manuscripts to fit it's own doctrinal position for example

    Compare the wording of the NWT and the NKJV at Colossians 1:15-17

    NKJV says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

    NWT says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God,the firstborn OF all creation;16 because by means of him all OTHER things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible,whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All OTHER things have been created through him and for him. 17 Also, he is before all OTHER things,and by means of him all OTHER things were made to exist,

    The word “other” is not in the Greek but they add it Why? So they can decieve their followers into thinking that Christ was created by the Father and that he then created other things, that is not what the Greek says.

      Truth is from God and those that follow him. As for lies? John8:44

      Kiamia, I noticed you used a modern version of kjv to make your point about the nwt.

      Why didn’t you use the original kjv of col1:15?

      Is it because it disproves your point? It proves the opposite of what you wrote?

      Here is kjv col1:15 ¶” Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn OF every creature:“

      Now I appeal to your Christian nature to correct your mistake as God is watching each of us, and let us bless the God of Jesus his father.

      Kjv 1Pe 1:3  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ….

    Joshua, Jehovah’s Witnesses have never denied the deity of the Messiah in his prehuman existence. While on Earth he was fully 100% human. I do not mean he was a mere human, he was not affected by Adam’s unfaithful behavior, he was sinless.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      The NWT is Satanic filth to its very core.

      The JW Cult is Satanic to its very core.

      Praise Yahweh I will never be a victim of JW brainwashing. If I burn in Hell for eternity or I am ultimately annihilated so be it

      May Yahweh's curse rest on the Watchtower Society and its Satanic leadership

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.

      Please site these intentional heresies. I am well versed in the watch tower outline and agree they are in many ways incorrect but i also bet i can point many out from EVERY established or main denomination. There is much to learn from them all as one who drinks milk?

      Judge not lest ye be judged, that is not to pass judgement on you either brother.

      I debate with scripture. I don't hold it to be true that Michael is Y'Shua HaMeshiach but I also firmly hold it to be true that our G-d and Heavenly Father are not the word encarnate and only begotten son.

      I love not seeing "lord" which i relate to baal. I feel the catholic church is a satanic establishment and I am aware a freemason started the hovies but there are evil in high places and our fight is also with principalities.

      What i'm saying is that in my darkest hours, those two were some of if not the only ones who would bring a Bible and eucharist and pray with me.

      We all fall short of the glory of G-d.

      Don't forget the NWT was recognized as the most accurate translation on Jeopardy.

      Lastly, this is different I noted than the NWT i have read and am very familiar with. Pull up the watchtower page and compare. I truly look forward to getting this one!
