Romans 5:19-21

New Testament for Everyone

¹⁹ For just as through the disobedience of one person many received the status of “sinner,” so through the obedience of one person many will receive the status of being “in the right.”

²⁰ The law came in alongside, so that the trespass might be filled out to its full extent. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more; ²¹ so that, just as sin reigned in death, even so, through God’s faithful covenant justice, grace might reign to the life of the age to come, through Jesus the Messiah, our Lord.
