Romans:5:11-21

*
and not this only ,
but also having joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ ,
through whom we have now received the reconciliation .
*
So then as through one man sin entered into the world ,
and through sin death ,
and thus came through unto all men ,
because all sinned
* (
for all the time before the Law sin was in the world ;
but sin is not set to one
s account when there is no law .
*
Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses ,
even over those who had not sinned in the manner in which Adam transgressed ;
who is a type of him who was to come .
*
But the free gift was not as the transgression .
For if through the offence of the one the many died ,
much more hath the grace of God ,
and the gift which is by the grace of the one man Jesus Christ ,
abounded to the many .
*
And the free gift is not like what happened through one man who sinned .
For sentence of condemnation followed one offence ;
but the free gift is a justification after many offences .
*
For if by one trespass death reigned through the one man ,
much more will they who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ .)
*
As then through one trespass all men have come under condemnation ,
so through one act of righteousness all obtain the gift of righteousness unto life .
*
For as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners ,
so through the obedience of the one man will the many be made righteous .
*
Moreover the law came in in addition ,
that the trespass might abound ;
but where sin abounded ,
grace abounded much more ;
*
that as sin reigned in death ,
so grace might reign through righteousness to everlasting life ,
through Jesus Christ our Lord .
