Romans 5:12-21

New American Standard Bible

¹² Therefore, just as through ^(A)one man sin entered into the world, and ^(B)death through sin, and ^(C)so death spread to all mankind, because all sinned— ¹³ for ^[a]until the Law sin was in the world, but ^(D)sin is not ^[b]counted against anyone when there is no law. ¹⁴ Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who had not sinned ^(E)in the likeness of the ^[c]violation committed by Adam, who is a ^[d](F)type of Him who was to come.

¹⁵ But ^[e]the gracious gift is not like the offense. For if by the offense of ^(G)the one ^(H)the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by ^(I)the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many. ¹⁶ The gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned; for on the one hand ^(J)the judgment arose from one offense, ^[f]resulting in condemnation, but on the other hand the gracious gift arose from many offenses, ^[g]resulting in justification. ¹⁷ For if by the offense of the one, death reigned ^(K)through the one, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness ^(L)reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.

¹⁸ So then, as through ^(M)one offense ^[h]the result was condemnation to all mankind, so also through one ^(N)act of righteousness ^[i]the result was ^(O)justification of life to all mankind. ¹⁹ For as through the one man’s disobedience ^(P)the many ^(Q)were made sinners, so also through ^(R)the obedience of the One ^(S)the many will be made righteous. ^20 [j](T)The Law came in so that the offense would increase; but where sin increased, ^(U)grace abounded all the more, ²¹ so that, as ^(V)sin reigned in death, so also ^(W)grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
