12 For through one man sin entered the world, and sin led to death. In this way death came to everyone, for everyone sinned.
15 But the gift of Jesus is not like the sin of Adam.5:15. Supplying for clarity "of Jesus" and "of Adam," making explicit what is meant by gift and sin. Though many people died because of one man’s sin, God’s grace is so much greater and has been shared with so many through his gracious gift in the person of Jesus Christ. 17 As a result of one man’s sin, death ruled because of him. But God’s grace is so much greater and his gift sets us right, for everyone who receives it will rule in life through the person of Jesus Christ! 18 Just as one sin brought condemnation on everyone, in the same way one right act gave everyone the opportunity to live right. 19 Just as through one man’s disobedience many became sinners, in the same way through one man’s obedience many are made right with God.
