For if many died because of the trespass of one man, how much more has the grace of God and the gift that comes by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflowed to many. 16 And the gift is not like the result of the one man’s sin. For judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation, but the free gift followed many trespasses and brought justification. 17 For if, by the trespass of one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ. 18 So then, just as through one trespass condemnation came to all people, so also through one act of righteousness justification that brings life came to all people. 19 For just as through the disobedience of one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of one man the many will be made righteous.
