Romans 5:16-21

16The gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned; for on the one hand 1the judgment arose from one offense, 2resulting in condemnation, but on the other hand the gracious gift arose from many offenses, 3resulting in justification. 17For if by the offense of the one, death reigned 4through the one, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness 5reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.

18So then, as through 6one offense 7the result was condemnation to all mankind, so also through one 8act of righteousness 9the result was 10justification of life to all mankind. 19For as through the one man’s disobedience 11the many 12were made sinners, so also through 13the obedience of the One 14the many will be made righteous. 20 15 16The Law came in so that the offense would increase; but where sin increased, 17grace abounded all the more, 21so that, as 18sin reigned in death, so also 19grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
