Romans 5:16-18
1599 Geneva Bible
16 [a]Neither is the gift so, as that which entered in by one that sinned: for the fault came of one offense unto condemnation: but the gift is of many offenses to [b]justification.
17 [c]For if by the offense of one, death reigned through one, much more shall they which receive that abundance of grace, and of that gift of that righteousness, [d]reign in life through one, that is, Jesus Christ.
18 [e]Likewise then, as by the offense of one, the fault came on all men to condemnation, so by the justifying of one, the benefit abounded toward all men to the [f]justification of life.

- Romans 5:16 To the sentence of absolution, whereby we are quit, and pronounced righteous.
- Romans 5:17 The third difference is, that the righteousness of Christ being imputed unto us by grace, is of greater power to bring life, than the offense of Adam is to addict his posterity to death.
- Romans 5:17 Be partakers of true and everlasting life.
- Romans 5:18 Therefore to be short, as by one man’s offense, the guiltiness came on all men, to make them subject to death: so on the contrary side, the righteousness of Christ, which by God’s mercy is imputed to all believers, justifieth them, that they may become partakers of everlasting life.
- Romans 5:18 Not only because our sins are forgiven us, but also because the righteousness of Christ is imputed unto us.
