²¹ so that, just as sin reigned in death,^(A) so also grace^(B) might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life^(C) through Jesus Christ our Lord.

¹¹ For the grace^(A) of God has appeared^(B) that offers salvation to all people.^(C)

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,^(A) who is a pattern of the one to come.^(B)

¹⁰ But if Christ is in you,^(A) then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life^[a] because of righteousness.

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

¹⁶ Out of his fullness^(A) we have all received grace^(B) in place of grace already given. ¹⁷ For the law was given through Moses;^(C) grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.^(D)

¹⁴ For sin shall no longer be your master,^(A) because you are not under the law,^(B) but under grace.^(C)

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)—

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!
