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. |
