Romans 5:17

NET Bible® (New English Translation)

For if, by the transgression of the one man, death reigned through the one, how much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Jesus Christ!

    7(For rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person perhaps someone might possibly dare to die.)

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

    9Much more then, because we have now been declared righteous by his blood, we will be saved through him from God’s wrath.

    10For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, how much more, since we have been reconciled, will we be saved by his life?

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

    12The Amplification of Justification So then, just as sin entered the world through one man and death through sin, and so death spread to all people because all sinned–

    13for before the law was given, sin was in the world, but there is no accounting for sin when there is no law.

    14Yet death reigned from Adam until Moses even over those who did not sin in the same way that Adam(who is a type of the coming one) transgressed.

    15But the gracious gift is not like the transgression. For if the many died through the transgression of the one man, how much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one man Jesus Christ multiply to the many!

    16And the gift is not like the one who sinned. For judgment, resulting from the one transgression, led to condemnation, but the gracious gift from the many failures led to justification.

    18Consequently, just as condemnation for all people came through one transgression, so too through the one righteous act came righteousness leading to life for all people.

    19For just as through the disobedience of the one man many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of one man many will be made righteous.

    20Now the law came in so that the transgression may increase, but where sin increased, grace multiplied all the more,

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