¹⁹ For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by ^(A)one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.

²¹ For ^(A)He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become ^(B)the righteousness of God in Him.

⁸ And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and ^(A)became ^(B)obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.

¹⁸ Therefore, as through ^[a]one man’s offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through ^(A)one^[b] Man’s righteous act the free gift came ^(B)to all men, resulting in justification of life.

Death in Adam, Life in Christ^(A)

¹² Therefore, just as ^(B)through one man sin entered the world, and ^(C)death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned—

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 ^(A)to many.

⁶ to the praise of the glory of His grace, ^(A)by which He ^[a]made us accepted in ^(B)the Beloved.

A Multitude from the Great Tribulation

⁹ After these things I looked, and behold, ^(A)a great multitude which no one could number, ^(B)of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, ^(C)clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, ¹⁰ and crying out with a loud voice, saying, ^(D)“Salvation belongs to our God ^(E)who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” ^11 (F)All the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and ^(G)worshiped God, ^12 (H)saying:

¹³ Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, “Who are these arrayed in ^(I)white robes, and where did they come from?”

¹⁴ And I said to him, ^[a]“Sir, you know.”

So he said to me, ^(J)“These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and ^(K)washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. ¹⁵ Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple. And He who sits on the throne will ^(L)dwell among them. ^16 (M)They shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; ^(N)the sun shall not strike them, nor any heat; ¹⁷ for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne ^(O)will shepherd them and lead them to ^[b]living fountains of waters. ^(P)And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
