Romans 5:16

Webster's Bible (1833)

The gift is not as through one who sinned: for the judgment came by one to condemnation, but the free gift came of many trespasses to justification.

They sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. 8 They heard the voice of Yahweh God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Yahweh God among the trees of the garden. 9 Yahweh God called to the man, and said to him, "Where are you?" 10 The man said, "I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself." 11 God said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?" 12 The man said, "The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate." 13 Yahweh God said to the woman, "What is this you have done?" The woman said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate." 14 Yahweh God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, cursed are you above all cattle, and above every animal of the field. On your belly shall you go, and you shall eat dust all the days of your life. 15 I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring.

In toil you will eat of it all the days of your life. 18 Thorns also and thistles will it bring forth to you; and you will eat the herb of the field. 19 By the sweat of your face will you eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken.

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

    12Therefore, as sin entered into the world through one man, and death through sin; and so death passed 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 until Moses, even over those whose sins weren't like Adam's disobedience, who is a foreshadowing of him who was to come.

    15But the free gift isn't like the trespass. For if by the trespass of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God, and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many.

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

    18So then as through one trespass, all men were condemned; even so through one act of righteousness, all men were justified to life.

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

    20The law came in besides, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace did abound more exceedingly;

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