¹⁸ Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people,^(A) so also one righteous act resulted in justification^(B) and life^(C) for all people.

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

Death Through Adam, Life Through Christ

¹² Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man,^(A) and death through sin,^(B) and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned^(C)—

¹⁹ For just as through the disobedience of the one man^(A) the many were made sinners,^(B) so also through the obedience^(C) of the one man the many will be made righteous.

¹⁵ But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man,^(A) how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ,^(B) overflow to the many!

³⁹ Through him everyone who believes^(A) is set free from every sin, a justification you were not able to obtain under the law of Moses.^(B)

⁴ who wants^(A) all people^(B) to be saved^(C) and to come to a knowledge of the truth.^{(D) 5} For there is one God^(E) and one mediator^(F) between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus,^{(G) 6} who gave himself as a ransom^(H) for all people. This has now been witnessed to^(I) at the proper time.^(J)

⁹ But we do see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, now crowned with glory and honor^(A) because he suffered death,^(B) so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.^(C)

²⁵ He was delivered over to death for our sins^(A) and was raised to life for our justification.^(B)
