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

    12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned:

    13 For until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not charged when there is no law.

    14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned according to the likeness of Adam's transgression, who is a type of him who was to come.

    15 But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the offense of one many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many.

    17 For if by the one man's offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the one, Jesus Christ.

    18 Therefore, as through one offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one act of righteousness the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life.

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

    20 Moreover, the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more:

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