Therefore, just as through ^(C1)one man sin entered into the world, and ^(C2)death through sin, and ^(C3)so death spread to all mankind, because all sinned—

for ^(F1)until the Law sin was in the world, but ^(C1)sin is not ^(F2)counted against anyone when there is no law.

Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who had not sinned ^(C1)in the likeness of the ^(F1)violation committed by Adam, who is a ^(F2)(C2)type of Him who was to come.

But ^(F1)the gracious gift is not like the offense. For if by the offense of ^(C1)the one ^(C2)the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by ^(C3)the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many.

The gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned; for on the one hand ^(C1)the judgment arose from one offense, ^(F1)resulting in condemnation, but on the other hand the gracious gift arose from many offenses, ^(F2)resulting in justification.

For if by the offense of the one, death reigned ^(C1)through the one, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness ^(C2)reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.

So then, as through ^(C1)one offense ^(F1)the result was condemnation to all mankind, so also through one ^(C2)act of righteousness ^(F2)the result was ^(C3)justification of life to all mankind.

For as through the one man's disobedience ^(C1)the many ^(C2)were made sinners, so also through ^(C3)the obedience of the One ^(C1)the many will be made righteous.

^(F1)(C1)The Law came in so that the offense would increase; but where sin increased, ^(C2)grace abounded all the more,

so that, as ^(C1)sin reigned in death, so also ^(C2)grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
