Romans 5:12–19

The Problem The Solution

12 So then, just as sin entered the world through one human and death through sin, and so death spread to all people because all sinned —

15 But the gracious gift is not like the transgression.

For if the many died through the offence of one,

how much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of one, Jesus Christ, multiply to the many!

16 And the gift is not like the one who sinned. For judgment, resulting from the one transgression, led to condemnation,

but the gracious gift, following the many falls, led to justification.

17 For if, by the transgression of one, death reigned through the one,

how much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through one, Jesus Christ!

18 Consequently, just as condemnation for all people came through one transgression,

so too through the one righteous act came righteousness leading to life for all people.

19 For just as through the disobedience of the one man many were made sinners,

so also through the obedience of one man many will be made righteous.
