    7For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die.

    8But God demonstrates His love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

    9Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.

    10For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.

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

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

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

    14Nevertheless 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.

    15But 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.

    16And the gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned; for the judgment which came from one offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift which came from many offenses resulted in justification.

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

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

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