    12 For this reason, as through one man sin came into the world, and death because of sin, and so death came to all men, because all have done evil:

    13 Because, till the law came, sin was in existence, but sin is not put to the account of anyone when there is no law to be broken.

    15 But the free giving of God is not like the wrongdoing of man. 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.

    18 So then, as the effect of one act of wrongdoing was that punishment came on all men, even so the effect of one act of righteousness was righteousness of life for all men.

    19 Because, 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.

    20 And the law came in addition, to make wrongdoing worse; but where there was much sin, there was much more grace:

    21 That, as sin had power in death, so grace might have power through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

    7 What then is to be said? is the law sin? in no way. But I would not have had knowledge of sin but for the law: for I would not have been conscious of desire if the law had not said, You may not have a desire for what is another's.

    8 But sin, taking its chance through that which was ordered by the law, was working in me every form of desire: because without the law sin is dead.

    9 And there was a time when I was living without the law: but when the law gave its orders, sin came to life and put me to death;

    10 And I made the discovery that the law whose purpose was to give life had become a cause of death:

    11 For I was tricked and put to death by sin, which took its chance through the law.
