For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peraduenture for a good man, some would euen dare to dye.
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
But God commendeth his loue towards vs, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for vs.
Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
Much more then being now iustified by his blood, we shalbe saued from wrath through him.
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.
For if when wee were enemies, we were reconciled to God, by the death of his sonne: much more being reconciled, we shalbe saued by his life.
And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
And not onely so, but wee also ioy in God, through our Lorde Iesus Christ, by whom we haue now receiued the atonement.
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:
Wherefore, as by one man sinne entred into the world, and death by sin: and so death passed vpon all men, ‖for that all haue sinned.
