Romans 5:12–19

¹²For this cause, even as by one man sin entered into the world, and by sin death; and thus death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: ¹³(for until law sin was in the world; but sin is not put to account when there is no law; ¹⁴but death reigned from Adam until Moses, even upon those who had not sinned in the likeness of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him to come. ¹⁵But shall not the act of favour be as the offence? For if by the offence of one the many have died, much rather has the grace of God, and the free gift in grace, which is by the one man Jesus Christ, abounded unto the many. ¹⁶And shall not as by one that has sinned be the gift? For the judgment was of one to condemnation, but the act of favour, of many offences unto justification. ¹⁷For if by the offence of the one death reigned by the one, much rather shall those who receive the abundance of grace, and of the free gift of righteousness, reign in life by the one Jesus Christ:) ¹⁸so then as it was by one offence towards all men to condemnation, so by one righteousness towards all men for justification of life. ¹⁹For as indeed by the disobedience of the one man the many have been constituted sinners, so also by the obedience of the one the many will be constituted righteous.
