¹⁷ but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,^(A) for when you eat from it you will certainly die.”^(B)

⁶ When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable^(A) for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband,^(B) who was with her, and he ate it.^(C)

²¹ For since death came through a man,^(A) the resurrection of the dead^(B) comes also through a man. ²² For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.^(C)

¹⁵ But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man,^(A) how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ,^(B) overflow to the many! ¹⁶ Nor can the gift of God be compared with the result of one man’s sin: The judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation, but the gift followed many trespasses and brought justification. ¹⁷ For if, by the trespass of the one man, death^(C) reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life^(D) through the one man, Jesus Christ!

⁹ For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead,^(A) he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him.^(B)
