¹Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;

¹Jo'can ut nak tîcobresinbil chic li kach'ôl chiru li Dios xban li kapâbâl, ut cuanco chic sa' usilal riq'uin li Dios xban li Kâcua' Jesucristo.

²through whom we also have our access by faith into this grace in which we stand. We rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

²Xban nak nakapâb li Jesucristo nakac'ul lix nimal rusilal li Dios. Jo'can nak cau kach'ôl sa' li kapâbâl. Ut nasaho' kach'ôl xban nak nakanau nak totz'akônk ajcui' sa' lix nimal xlok'al li Dios.

³Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering works perseverance;

³Ut moco ca'aj cui' ta nasaho' kach'ôl nak totz'akônk sa' lix lok'al li Dios. Nasaho' aj ban cui' sa' kach'ôl nak nakac'ul li raylal. Nakanau nak riq'uin xc'ulbal li raylal nakatzol li cuyuc.

⁴and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope:

⁴Ut xban li cuyuc nacacuu kach'ôl sa' li kapâbâl, ut xban xcacuilal kach'ôl nakayo'oni li yechi'inbil ke xban li Dios.

⁵and hope doesn’t disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

⁵Li c'a'ru nakayo'oni nakanau nak takac'ul, xban nak k'axal nocoxra li Dios ut naxc'ut chiku lix nimal xrahom xban li Santil Musik'ej li q'uebil chak ke.

⁶For while we were yet weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.

⁶Lâo inc'a' naru nakacol kib yal kajunes. Abanan quicuulac xk'ehil nak quicam li Kâcua' Jesucristo re kacolbal lâo aj mâc.

⁷For one will hardly die for a righteous man. Yet perhaps for a righteous person someone would even dare to die.

⁷Moco yalak ani ta tixq'ue rib chi câmc sa' xc'aba' junak ras rîtz'in usta châbil li ras rîtz'in chiru. Abanan cui k'axal tîc xch'ôl li ras rîtz'in, mâre cuan ajcui' junak tixq'ue rib chi câmc sa' xc'aba' a'an.

⁸But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

⁸A'ut li Dios naxc'utbesi chiku nak k'axal nocoxra xban nak toj aj mâco chak nak quicam li Cristo sa' kac'aba'.

⁹Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we will be saved from God’s wrath through him.

⁹Ut anakcuan tîc chic li kach'ôl chiru li Dios xban xcamic li Jesucristo. Jo'can nak relic chi yâl nak sa' xc'aba' li Cristo tocolek' chiru lix josk'il li Dios sa' xk'ehil li rakba âtin.

¹⁰For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we will be saved by his life.

¹⁰Nak toj aj mâco chak xic' nakil li Dios. Aban li Dios xoxc'am sa' usilal riq'uin sa' xc'aba' lix camic li Ralal. Ut anakcuan nakanau chic nak cuanco sa' usilal riq'uin li Dios ut colbilo xban nak li Cristo quicuacli cui'chic chi yo'yo.

¹¹Not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

¹¹Ut moco ca'aj cui' ta li kacolbal quixq'ue li Dios. Naxq'ue aj ban cui' lix sahilal kach'ôl sa' xc'aba' li Kâcua' Jesucristo li quic'amoc ke sa' usilal riq'uin li Dios.

¹²Therefore as sin entered into the world through one man, and death through sin; and so death passed to all men, because all sinned.

¹²Jo'ca'in nak quiticla li mâc sa' ruchich'och', yal xban jun chi cuînk aj Adán xc'aba'. Ut xban li mâc cuan li câmc ut chixjunileb neque'cam xban nak chixjunileb xe'mâcob.

¹³For until the law, sin was in the world; but sin is not charged when there is no law.

¹³Nak toj mâji' quiq'uehe' li chak'rab re laj Moisés, ac cuan li mâc sa' ruchich'och'. Aban inc'a' nayeman nak cuanqueb xmâc xban nak toj mâc'a' li chak'rab re xc'utbal chiruheb nak a'an eb aj mâc.

¹⁴Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those whose sins weren’t like Adam’s disobedience, who is a foreshadowing of him who was to come.

¹⁴Chalen nak quicuan chak laj Adán toj nak quiq'uehe' lix chak'rab laj Moisés, chixjunileb quilaje'cam usta inc'a' que'mâcob riq'uin xk'etbal xchak'rab li Dios jo' quixbânu laj Adán nak quixk'et li âtin li quiyehe' re xban li Dios. Xban laj Adán quiticla chak li mâc ut li câmc, ut xban li Cristo cuan li colba-ib ut li yu'am chi junelic.

¹⁵But the free gift isn’t like the trespass. For if by the trespass of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God, and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many.

¹⁵A'ut li mâtan naxq'ue li Dios moco juntak'êt ta riq'uin li mâc quixbânu laj Adán li xbên cuînk. Li câmc cuan sa' xbêneb chixjunileb xban nak quik'etoc âtin laj Adán. Aban sa' xc'aba' li Jesucristo nabaleb neque'xc'ul li colba-ib li naxq'ue li Dios. Ut k'axal cui'chic numtajenak li rusilal naxq'ue ke.

¹⁶The gift is not as through one who sinned: for the judgment came by one to condemnation, but the free gift came of many trespasses to justification.

¹⁶Li mâc quixbânu laj Adán inc'a' naru xjuntak'êtanquil riq'uin li colba-ib quixq'ue li Dios xban nak k'axal nim xcuanquil li colba-ib. Xban nak quimâcob laj Adán, jo'can nak cuan li tojba mâc. Aban li mâtan li naxq'ue li Dios naxtîcobresi li kach'ôl ut sa' xc'aba' li Jesucristo nabaleb te'colek'.

¹⁷For if by the trespass of the one, death reigned through the one; so much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Jesus Christ.

¹⁷Xban lix mâc laj Adán, chixjunileb cuanqueb rubel xcuanquil li câmc. Aban xban xnimal rusilal li Dios, nabaleb te'xc'ul li mâtan li naxq'ue li Dios, a' li tîquil ch'ôlej, ut tâcuânk xcacuil xch'ôleb sa' lix pâbâleb sa' xc'aba' li Kâcua' Jesucristo.

¹⁸So then as through one trespass, all men were condemned; even so through one act of righteousness, all men were justified to life.

¹⁸Xban lix k'etba âtin laj Adán cuan li tojba mâc sa' xbêneb chixjunileb li cuanqueb sa' ruchich'och'. A'ut xban lix tîquilal xch'ôl li Cristo, mâc'a' chic xcuanquil li tojba mâc sa' xbêneb. Cuânk ban chic xyu'ameb chi junelic.

¹⁹For as through the one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the one, many will be made righteous.

¹⁹Jo'can nak xban lix k'etba âtin laj Adán, nabaleb que'cana chok' aj mâc. Ut xban nak li Jesucristo quixbânu li c'a'ru quixye li Dios, nabaleb te'tîcok' xch'ôl chiru li Dios.

²⁰The law came in besides, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace abounded more exceedingly;

²⁰Li chak'rab quiq'uehe' re xc'utbal nak numtajenak li mâc. Ut nak quinumta li mâc, k'axal cui'chic quinumta li rusilal li Dios sa' xbên li mâc.Xban nak cuan li mâc, cuan ajcui' li câmc. Abanan xban xnimal rusilal, li Dios naxq'ue xtîquilal li kach'ôl ut li kayu'am chi junelic sa' xc'aba' li Kâcua' Jesucristo.

²¹that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

²¹Xban nak cuan li mâc, cuan ajcui' li câmc. Abanan xban xnimal rusilal, li Dios naxq'ue xtîquilal li kach'ôl ut li kayu'am chi junelic sa' xc'aba' li Kâcua' Jesucristo.
