13 (For until the law sin was in the world, but (A)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, (B)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 (C)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 (D)one[e] Man’s righteous act the free gift came (E)to all men, resulting in justification of life. 19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by (F)one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.

20 Moreover (G)the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace (H)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.

  1. Romans 5:15 trespass or false step
  2. Romans 5:16 trespasses
  3. Romans 5:17 trespass
  4. Romans 5:18 Or one trespass
  5. Romans 5:18 Or one righteous act

13 To be sure, sin was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not charged against anyone’s account where there is no law.(A) 14 Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam,(B) who is a pattern of the one to come.(C)

15 But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man,(D) how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ,(E) overflow to the many! 16 Nor can the gift of God be compared with the result of one man’s sin: The judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation, but the gift followed many trespasses and brought justification. 17 For if, by the trespass of the one man, death(F) reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life(G) through the one man, Jesus Christ!

18 Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people,(H) so also one righteous act resulted in justification(I) and life(J) for all people. 19 For just as through the disobedience of the one man(K) the many were made sinners,(L) so also through the obedience(M) of the one man the many will be made righteous.

20 The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase.(N) But where sin increased, grace increased all the more,(O) 21 so that, just as sin reigned in death,(P) so also grace(Q) might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life(R) through Jesus Christ our Lord.
