Romans 5:16

Linguistic Bible Translation from Source Texts

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.

So they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves. 8 They heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden during the breeze of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden. 9 But the LORD God called out to the man and said to him, 'Where are you?' 10 He said, 'I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid myself.' 11 He said, 'Who told you that you were naked?

    11Not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

    12Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, so death spread to all people, because all sinned.

    13For sin was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law.

    14Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who did not sin in the likeness of Adam's transgression, who is a type of the One who was to come.

    15But the free gift is not like the trespass. 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.

    17For 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.

    18So 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.

    19For 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.

    20Now the law was brought in so that the trespass might increase; but where sin increased, grace increased all the more.

    21So that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
