¹⁸ Therefore, as one trespass^[a] led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness^[b] leads to justification and life for ^(A)all men. ¹⁹ For as by the one man's ^(B)disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's ^(C)obedience the many will be made righteous. ²⁰ Now ^(D)the law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, ^(E)grace abounded all the more, ²¹ so that, ^(F)as sin reigned in death, ^(G)grace also might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

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

²³ for ^(A)all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

Death in Adam, Life in Christ

¹² Therefore, just as ^(A)sin came into the world through one man, and ^(B)death through sin, and ^(C)so death spread to all men^[a] because ^(D)all sinned—

^23 (A)For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

^36 (A)Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; ^(B)whoever does not obey the Son shall not ^(C)see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.

¹⁹ Now ^(A)the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, ²⁰ idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, ^(B)divisions, ²¹ envy,^[a] drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that ^(C)those who do^[b] such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
