¹⁷ For if, because of one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness ^(A)reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.

⁵ he saved us, ^(A)not because of works done by us in righteousness, but ^(B)according to his own mercy, by ^(C)the washing of regeneration and ^(D)renewal of the Holy Spirit, ⁶ whom he ^(E)poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior,

⁷ Likewise, ^(A)husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker ^(B)vessel, since they are heirs with you^[a] of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.

²⁵ And this is the promise that he made to us^[a]—^(A)eternal life.

²¹ so that, ^(A)as sin reigned in death, ^(B)grace also might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
