Romans 5:15-21

¹⁵Now the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one, how much more did God's grace and the bounty by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many!

¹⁶Again, the gift is not like what came from one man's having sinned: because the judgment into condemnation followed one offense, while the gracious gift into justification followed many offenses.

¹⁷Further, if by the offense of the one man death reigned through that man, much more will those who receive the abundance of the grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.

¹⁸So then, as through one offense there is condemnation for everyone, so also through one righteous act there is life-giving justification for everyone.

¹⁹For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were constituted sinners, so also through the obedience of the One the many will be constituted righteous.

²⁰However, law came on the scene so that the offense might abound; but where the sin abounded, the grace superabounded,

²¹so that just as sin reigned in the death, so also the grace might reign through righteousness into eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
