    11and not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

    12Therefore, as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin; and so death passed unto all men, for that all sinned:--

    13for until the law sin was in the world; but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

    14Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the likeness of Adam's transgression, who is a figure of him that was to come.

    15But not as the trespass, so also [is] the free gift. For if by the trespass of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God, and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound unto the many.

    17For if, by the trespass of the one, death reigned through the one; much more shall they that receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, [even] Jesus Christ.

    18So then as through one trespass [the judgment came] unto all men to condemnation; even so through one act of righteousness [the free gift came] unto all men to justification of life.

    19For as through the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the one shall the many be made righteous.

    20And the law came in besides, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace did abound more exceedingly:

    21that, as sin reigned in death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
