Death through Adam and Life through Christ
12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, 5:12 Gn 2:17; 3:6,19; 1Co 15:21 and death through sin, 5:12 Rm 6:23; 1Co 15:56; Jms 1:15 in this way death spread to all people, 5:12 Rm 5:19,21; 1Co 15:22 because all sinned. 5:12 Or have sinned
15 But the gift is not like the trespass. For if by the one man’s trespass the many died, how much more have the grace of God and the gift which comes through the grace of the one man 5:15 Ac 15:11 Jesus Christ overflowed to the many. 17 If by the one man’s trespass, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive the overflow of grace and the gift of righteousness reign in life 5:17 2Tm 2:12; Rv 22:5 through the one man, Jesus Christ.
18 So then, as through one trespass there is condemnation for everyone, so also through one righteous act there is justification leading to life 5:18 Rm 4:25 for everyone. 19 For just as through one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, 5:19 Rm 11:32 so also through the one man’s obedience 5:19 Php 2:8 the many will be made righteous.
