Romans 5:12-19

Death in Adam, Life in Christ

12 Therefore, just as ^asin came into the world through one man, and ^bdeath through sin, and ^cso death spread to all men ^{▼▼The Greek word anthropoi refers here to both men and women; also twice in verse 18} because ^eall sinned— 13 for sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but ^fsin is not counted where there is no law. 14 Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sinning was not ^glike the transgression of Adam, ^hwho was a type of ⁱthe one who was to come.

15 But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man’s trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for ^jmany. 16 And the free gift is not like the result of that one man’s sin. For ^kthe judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift following many trespasses brought ^ljustification. 17 For if, because of one man’s trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness ^mreign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.

18 Therefore, as one trespass ^{▼▼Or the trespass of one} led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness ^{▼▼Or the act of righteousness of one} leads to justification and life for ^pall men. 19 For as by the one man’s ^qdisobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man’s ^robedience the many will be made righteous.
