CAP. V.
Therfore we,
1 iustified of feith, haue
pees at God by oure Lord Jhesu Crist.
By whom we han `accesse,
2 or ny&yogh; goynge
to, by feith in to this grace, in
which we stonden, and han glorie in the
hope of glorie of Goddis sones.
3 Forsoth
not oonly, but and we glorien in tribulaciouns,
witinge that tribulacioun worchith
pacience,
4 sothli pacience prouynge,
forsothe prouynge hope.
5 Forsoth hope
confoundith not, for the charite of God is
spred abrood in oure hertis by the Hooly
Gost, that is &yogh;ouun to vs.
6 Wherto sothly
deiede Crist for wickide men, whanne
we weren &yogh;it syke, `or vnstable, `vp
tyme?
7 Sothli vnnethis deieth eny man
for the iust; for whi for the goode perauenture
`sum man dar deye.
8 Forsoth
God comendith his charite in vs; for if
whanne we weren &yogh;it synners, `vp tyme
Crist is deed for vs,
9 moche more now we
iustifyed in his blood, schulen be saaf fro
wraththe by him.
10 Sothli if whenne we
weren enemyes, we ben recouncilid to
God by deeth of his sone, moche more we
recounsylid schulen be saaf in the lyf `of
him.
11 Forsothe not oonly, but and we
glorien in God, by oure Lord Jhesu Crist,
by whom we han receyued now recouncilyng,
`or acordyng.
12 Therfore as by o
man synne entride in to this world, and
by synne deeth, so `deeth passide forth in
to alle men, in which man alle men synneden.
Sothli til to the lawe synne was
13
in the world; forsothe synne was not
`wyitid, or rettid, whanne lawe was not.
But deeth regnyde fro Adam til to Moyses,
14
also in to hem that synneden not in
licnesse of trespassinge of Adam, which
-- --
is foorme, `or licnesse, of oon to comynge.
But not as gilt,
15 `or trespas, so
and the &yogh;ifte; sothli if thorw the gilt
of oon manye ben deed, moche more the
grace of God and &yogh;ifte in the grace of o
man Jhesu Crist hath haboundid in to
many men.
16 And not as by o synne, so
and by &yogh;yfte; forwhi sothli dom of oon
in to condempnacioun, grace forsothe of
manye giltis, `or trespassingis, in to
iustificacioun.
17 Forsoth if in the gilt of
oon deeth regnede thorw oon, moche more
men takynge plente of grace, and &yogh;yuynge,
and ri&yogh;twysnesse, `in lyf schulen
regne by oon Jhesu Crist.
18 Therfore as
by the gilt of oon in to alle men in to
condempnacioun, so and by the ri&yogh;twysnesse
of oon in to alle men in to iustifyinge
of lyf.
19 Sothli as by inobedience of
o man manye ben ordeyned synneris, so
and by obedience of oon manye schulen be
ordeyned iust.
20 `Forsoth the lawe entride,
that gilt shulde be plenteuous; sothli
wher gilt was plenteuous, and grace haboundide,
`or was plenteuous.
21 That as
synne regnede in to deeth, so and grace
regne by ri&yogh;twysnesse into euere lastynge
lyf, by `Jhesu Crist oure Lord.
