For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, ( AD) how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, ( AE) overflow to the many! 16 Nor can the gift of God be compared with the result of one man’s sin: The judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation, but the gift followed many trespasses and brought justification. ( AC)ġ5 But the gift is not like the trespass. ( AA) 14 Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, ( AB) who is a pattern of the one to come. ( W) Death Through Adam, Life Through Christġ2 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, ( X) and death through sin, ( Y) and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned ( Z)-ġ3 To be sure, sin was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not charged against anyone’s account where there is no law. ( P)ĩ Since we have now been justified ( Q) by his blood, ( R) how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath ( S) through him! 10 For if, while we were God’s enemies, ( T) we were reconciled ( U) to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! ( V) 11 Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. ( O) 7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die.

5 And hope ( J) does not put us to shame, because God’s love ( K) has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, ( L) who has been given to us.Ħ You see, at just the right time, ( M) when we were still powerless, ( N) Christ died for the ungodly. 3 Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, ( H) because we know that suffering produces perseverance ( I) 4 perseverance, character and character, hope. ( F) And we boast in the hope ( G) of the glory of God. 5 Therefore, since we have been justified ( A) through faith, ( B) we have peace ( C) with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, ( D) 2 through whom we have gained access ( E) by faith into this grace in which we now stand.
