18 Therefore, as one trespass[a] led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness[b] leads to justification and life for (A)all men. 19 For as by the one man's (B)disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's (C)obedience the many will be made righteous. 20 Now (D)the law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, (E)grace abounded all the more, 21 so that, (F)as sin reigned in death, (G)grace also might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Dead to Sin, Alive to God

What shall we say then? (H)Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means! How can (I)we who died to sin still live in it? Do you not know that all of us (J)who have been baptized (K)into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were (L)buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as (M)Christ was raised from the dead by (N)the glory of the Father, we too might walk in (O)newness of life.
