Romans 5:6–15

⁶For ^jwhile we were still weak, at the right time ^kChrist died for the ungodly. ⁷For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— ⁸but ^lGod shows his love for us in that ^mwhile we were still sinners, Christ died for us. ⁹Since, therefore, ⁿwe have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from ^othe wrath of God. ¹⁰For if ^pwhile we were enemies ^qwe were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by ^rhis life. ¹¹More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received ^sreconciliation.

Death in Adam, Life in Christ

¹²Therefore, just as ^tsin came into the world through one man, and ^udeath through sin, and ^vso death spread to all men⁵ because ^wall sinned— ¹³for sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but ^xsin is not counted where there is no law. ¹⁴Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sinning was not ^ylike the transgression of Adam, ^zwho was a type of ^athe one who was to come.

¹⁵But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man’s trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for ^bmany.
