¹⁷ For if, by the trespass of the one man, death^(A) 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^(B) through the one man, Jesus Christ!

¹⁹ For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God^(A) to be revealed.

²⁴ Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom^(A) to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power.^{(B) 25} For he must reign^(C) until he has put all his enemies under his feet.^{(D) 26} The last enemy to be destroyed is death.^{(E) 27} For he “has put everything under his feet.”^[a](F) Now when it says that “everything” has been put under him, it is clear that this does not include God himself, who put everything under Christ.^{(G) 28} When he has done this, then the Son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him,^(H) so that God may be all in all.^(I)

¹³ For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness^(A) and brought us into the kingdom^(B) of the Son he loves,^(C)

¹⁰ For he was looking forward to the city^(A) with foundations,^(B) whose architect and builder is God.^(C)
