¹⁷ For if, because of one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness ^(A)reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.

²¹ For as ^(A)by a man came death, ^(B)by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. ²² For ^(C)as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.

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—

⁴⁹ Just ^(A)as we have borne the image of the man of dust, ^(B)we shall^[a] also bear the image of the man of heaven.

¹⁰ The thief comes only to steal and ^(A)kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.

⁵ And ^(A)night will be no more. They will need no light of lamp ^(B)or sun, for ^(C)the Lord God will be their light, and ^(D)they will reign forever and ever.

⁶ So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise,^[a] she took of its fruit ^(A)and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, ^(B)and he ate.

^6 (A)Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! Over such ^(B)the second death has no power, but they will be ^(C)priests of God and of Christ, and they ^(D)will reign with him for a thousand years.
