Romans 5:12-14

International Standard Version

Death in Adam, Life in the Messiah

¹² Just as sin entered the world through one man, and death resulted from sin, therefore everyone dies, because everyone has sinned. ¹³ Certainly sin was in the world before the Law was given,^[a] but no record of sin is kept when there is no Law. ¹⁴ Nevertheless, death ruled from the time of^[b] Adam to Moses, even over those who did not sin in the same way Adam did when he disobeyed.^[c] He is a foreshadowing of the one who would come.
