Rom 5:12.15b.17-19.20b-21

Sin entered the world by means of one man and through sin death, and in this way death spread to all humankind, because all sinned. We know that multitudes die because of the sine of one man, but how much more abundant is the grace of God and the gift he granted to the multitudes, though this one man Jesus Christ. If death reigned because of the disobedience of only one person, how much more will the gift of righteousness and life reign in those who receive the grace of God through the one man Jesus Christ. Just as one transgression brought sentence of death to all, so, too, one righteous act brought pardon and life to all. For as the disobedience of one man made many sinners, so the obedience of one man allowed many to be put right with God. But where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, and as sin caused death to reign, so grace will reign in its own time and, after putting us right with God, will bring us to eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.
