But{G1161} where{G3757} sin{G266} abounded{G4121}{(G5656)}, grace{G5485} did much more abound{G5248}{(G5656)}: 21 That{G2443} as{G5618} sin{G266} hath reigned{G936}{(G5656)} unto{G1722} death{G2288}, even{G2532} so{G3779} might{G936} grace{G5485} reign{G936}{(G5661)} through{G1223} righteousness{G1343} unto{G1519} eternal{G166} life{G2222} by{G1223} Jesus{G2424} Christ{G5547} our{G2257} Lord{G2962}. 1 What{G5101} shall we say{G2046}{(G5692)} then{G3767}? Shall we continue{G1961}{(G5692)} in sin{G266}, that{G2443} grace{G5485} may abound{G4121}{(G5661)}? 2 God forbid{G3361}{G1096}{(G5636)}.
