* And not only so , but also taking pride in God through our Lord Jesus Christ , through whom we have now received the reconciliation . * Because of this , just as through one man sin entered into the world , and death through sin , so also death passed to all men , in that all sinned . * For until law sin was in the world , but sin is not imputed when there is no law . * Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses , even over those who did not sin in the likeness of Adam 's transgression , who is a type of the coming man . * But in this way also , the gift is not as the transgression . For if by the trespass of the one man the many died , much more the grace of God , and the gift in grace of the one man , Jesus Christ , abounded for the many . * And the gift is not as through one man who sinned , for indeed the judgment from one man was for condemnation , but the gift from many offenses is for righteousness . * For if , by the offense of the one man , death reigned through the one man , much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the one man , Jesus Christ . * So then , as through an offense of one man was for condemnation for all men , so also through a righteousness of one man was for justification of life for all men . * For as through the one man 's disobedience the many were led sinful , so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be led righteous . * And the law entered so that the offence might abound . But where sin abounded , grace was more abundant , * so that , as sin reigned in death , so also grace might reign , through righteousness , for eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord .
