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—

²¹ For as ^(A)by a man came death, ^(B)by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. ²² For ^(C)as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.

¹⁹ For as by the one man's ^(A)disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's ^(B)obedience the many will be made righteous.

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

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

¹⁵ Then desire ^(A)when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and ^(B)sin when it is fully grown brings forth death.

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

^8 (A)If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and ^(B)the truth is not in us. ^9 (C)If we confess our sins, he is ^(D)faithful and just to forgive us our sins and ^(E)to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. ¹⁰ If we say we have not sinned, ^(F)we make him a liar, and ^(G)his word is not in us.
