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— ¹³ for sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but ^(E)sin is not counted where there is no law.

¹⁵ But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man's trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for ^(A)many.

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

¹⁶ Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers. ^17 (C)Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from ^(D)the Father of lights, ^(E)with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.^{[a] 18 (F)}Of his own will he ^(G)brought us forth by the word of truth, ^(H)that we should be a kind of ^(I)firstfruits of his creatures.
