* 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 !
