Romans 5:6–15

⁶For why did Christ, when as yet we were weak, according to the time, die for the ungodly?

⁷For scarce for a just man will one die: yet perhaps for a good man some one would dare to die.

⁸But God commendeth his charity towards us: because when as yet we were sinners according to the time.

⁹Christ died for us. Much more therefore, being now justified by his blood, shall we be saved from wrath through him.

¹⁰For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son: much more, being reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.

¹¹And not only so: but also we glory in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received reconciliation.

¹²Wherefore as by one man sin entered into this world and by sin death: and so death passed upon all men, in whom all have sinned.

¹³For until the law sin was in the world: but sin was not imputed, when the law was not.

¹⁴But death reigned from Adam unto Moses, even over them also who have not sinned, after the similitude of the transgression of Adam, who is a figure of him who was to come.

¹⁵But not as the offence, so also the gift. For if by the offence of one, many died: much more the grace of God and the gift, by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
