Romans:5:11-21

*
And not only that ,
but we exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ ,
through whom we have now obtained our reconciliation .
*
Thus ,
then ,
sin came into the world through one man ,
and through sin came death and so death spread to all men ,
because all had sinned .
*
For prior to the Law ,
sin actually existed in the world ,
but sin was not set down to mans account when there was no law .
*
Nevertheless ,
from Adam to Moses death reigned as king ,
even over those who had not sinned after the likeness of Adams transgression .
Now Adam is a type of Him who was to come .
*
But the free gift is not like the transgression ;
for if through the transgression of that one man the rest on men died ,
much more did the grace of God and the gift given in his grace in the one Man ,
Jesus Christ ,
overflow unto the rest of men .
*
And it is not with the free gift as it was through the one that sinned ;
for the judgment came from one transgression unto condemnation ;
but the free gift came from many transgressions unto acquittal .
*
For if through the transgression of the one ,
death reigned as king through the one ,
much more shall those who receive the overflowing grace and gift of righteousness reign as kings in life through One ,
through Jesus Christ .
*
It follows then ,
as through the transgression of one man came condemnation unto all men ,
even so through the act of righteousness of One came acquittal and life to all men .
*
For just as through the disobedience of one man the rest were made sinners ;
even so by the obedience of One shall all the rest be made righteous .
*
Now law was brought in so that transgression might abound ;
but where sin abounded ,
grace super-abounded ;
*
in order that as sin has ruled as king in death ,
so also grace might rule as king in righteousness which issues in eternal life ,
through Jesus Christ our Lord , -
ours !
