    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.

    17For 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.

    18Therefore, 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.

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