For until the law, sin, while it was in the world, was not reckoned sin, because the law was not;

But not as was the fall, so is the gift; for if, on account of the fall of one, many died, how much more the grace of Aloha, and his gift, for the sake of one man, Jeshu Meshiha, in many will abound ?

And not as the transgression of one, so is the gift; for the judgment that was by one was unto condemnation, but the gift (which saves) from many sins was unto righteousness.

For if because of the transgression of one death was made to reign, much more (shall) they who receive the abundance of the grace and of the gift and of righteousness, reign in life by one, Jeshu Meshiha.

For as on account of the disobedience of one man many became sinners, so also on account of the obedience of one many became righteous.

As among men I speak, because of the infirmity of your flesh, that as you have prepared your members for the service of uncleanness and of iniquity, so also now prepare ye your members for the service of righteousness and of holiness.

For when you were the servants of sin, you were free from righteousness.

And what product [fn] had you then from that of which to-day you are ashamed? For the end of it is death.

For the wages of sin is death; and the gift of Aloha the life of eternity by our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.
