Death in Adam, Life in Christ
12 Therefore, just as Gen. 2:17; 3:6, 19; (Rom. 5:15–17; 1 Cor. 15:21)through one man sin entered the world, and Gen. 2:17death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned— 15 But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the one man’s offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded (Is. 53:11)to many. 17 For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)
18 Therefore, as through one man’s offense judgmentcame to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through (1 Cor. 15:21, 45)one Man’s righteous act thefreegiftcameMatt. 1:21; (John 12:32)to all men, resulting in justification of life. 19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by Is. 53:11, 12; (Phil. 2:8)one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.
