For if, by the wrongdoing of one man death came to numbers of men, much more did the grace of God, and the free giving by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, come to men. 16 And the free giving has not the same effect as the sin of one: for the effect of one man's sin was punishment by the decision of God, but the free giving had power to give righteousness to wrongdoers in great number. 17 For, if by the wrongdoing of one, death was ruling through the one, much more will those to whom has come the wealth of grace and the giving of righteousness, be ruling in life through the one, even Jesus Christ.

    15Yes, and we are seen to be false witnesses of God; because we gave witness of God that by his power Christ came again from the dead: which is not true if there is no coming back from the dead.

    16For if it is not possible for the dead to come to life again, then Christ has not come to life again:

    17And if that is so, your faith is of no effect; you are still in your sins.

    18And, in addition, the dead in Christ have gone to destruction.

    19If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most unhappy.

    20But now Christ has truly come back from the dead, the first-fruits of those who are sleeping.

    42So is it with the coming back from the dead. It is planted in death; it comes again in life:

    43It is planted in shame; it comes again in glory: feeble when it is planted, it comes again in power:

    44It is planted a natural body; it comes again as a body of the spirit. If there is a natural body, there is equally a body of the spirit.

    45And so it is said, The first man Adam was a living soul. The last Adam is a life-giving spirit.

    46But that which is natural comes before that which is of the spirit.

    47The first man is from the earth, and of the earth: the second man is from heaven.

    19Because, as numbers of men became sinners through the wrongdoing of one man, even so will great numbers get righteousness through the keeping of the word of God by one man.
