Romans 5:15-17

New Catholic Bible

¹⁵ Grace and Life through Christ. However, the gift is not like the transgression. For if the transgression of one man led to the death of the many,^[a] how much greater was the overflowing effect of the grace of God and the gift of the one man Jesus Christ that has abounded for the many. ¹⁶ The gift of God cannot be compared with the sin of the one man. For the one sin resulted in the judgment that brought condemnation, but the gift freely given after many transgressions resulted in justification. ¹⁷ For if, because of one man’s transgression, death reigned through that man, how much more shall those who receive the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness come to reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.
