²² For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall ^(A)be made alive.

Death in Adam, Life in Christ^(A)

¹² Therefore, just as ^(B)through one man sin entered the world, and ^(C)death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned— ¹³ (For until the law sin was in the world, but ^(D)sin is not imputed when there is no law. ¹⁴ Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned according to the likeness of the transgression of Adam, ^(E)who is a type of Him who was to come. ¹⁵ But the free gift is not like the ^[a]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 ^(F)to many. ¹⁶ And the gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned. For the judgment which came from one offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift which came from many ^[b]offenses resulted in justification. ¹⁷ For if by the one man’s ^[c]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 ^[d]one man’s offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through ^(G)one^[e] Man’s righteous act the free gift came ^(H)to all men, resulting in justification of life. ¹⁹ For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by ^(I)one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.

²⁰ Moreover ^(J)the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace ^(K)abounded much more, ²¹ so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

²¹ For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, ^(A)even so the Son gives life to whom He will. ²² For the Father judges no one, but ^(B)has committed all judgment to the Son, ²³ that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. ^(C)He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.

Life and Judgment Are Through the Son

²⁴ “Most assuredly, I say to you, ^(D)he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, ^(E)but has passed from death into life. ²⁵ Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when ^(F)the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live. ²⁶ For ^(G)as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have ^(H)life in Himself, ²⁷ and ^(I)has given Him authority to execute judgment also, ^(J)because He is the Son of Man. ²⁸ Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will ^(K)hear His voice ^29 (L)and come forth—^(M)those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.

⁴⁵ And so it is written, ^(A)“The first man Adam became a living being.” ^(B)The last Adam became ^(C)a life-giving spirit.

⁴⁶ However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual. ^47 (D)The first man was of the earth, ^(E)made^[a] of dust; the second Man is ^[b]the Lord ^(F)from heaven. ⁴⁸ As was the ^[c]man of dust, so also are those who are made of dust; ^(G)and as is the heavenly Man, so also are those who are heavenly. ⁴⁹ And ^(H)as we have borne the image of the man of dust, ^(I)we^[d] shall also bear the image of the heavenly Man.

⁶ So when the woman ^(A)saw that the tree was good for food, that it was ^[a]pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit ^(B)and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.

¹⁷ but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil ^(A)you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it ^(B)you^[a] shall surely ^(C)die.”
