Romans 5:12-21

New American Standard Bible 1995

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 men, because all sinned— ¹³ for ^[a]until the Law sin was in the world, but ^(D)sin is not imputed 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 offense of Adam, who is a ^[b](F)type of Him who was to come.

¹⁵ But ^[c]the free gift is not like the transgression. For if by the transgression 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, abound 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 transgression ^[d]resulting in condemnation, but on the other hand the free gift arose from many transgressions ^[e]resulting in justification. ¹⁷ For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned ^(K)through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will ^(L)reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.

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