For while we were still (A)helpless, (B)at the right time (C)Christ died for the ungodly. For one will hardly die for a righteous person; [a]though perhaps for the good person someone would even dare to die. But God (D)demonstrates (E)His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, (F)Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified [b](G)by His blood, we shall be saved (H)from the wrath of God through Him. 10 For if while we were (I)enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved [c](J)by His life. 11 (K)And not only this, but [d]we also celebrate in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received (L)the reconciliation.

12 Therefore, just as through (M)one man sin entered into the world, and (N)death through sin, and (O)so death spread to all mankind, because all sinned— 13 for [e]until the Law sin was in the world, but (P)sin is not [f]counted against anyone when there is no law. 14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who had not sinned (Q)in the likeness of the [g]violation committed by Adam, who is a [h](R)type of Him who was to come.

15 But [i]the gracious gift is not like the offense. For if by the offense of (S)the one (T)the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by (U)the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many.
