⁶ For ^(A)while we were still weak, at the right time ^(B)Christ died for the ungodly. ⁷ For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— ⁸ but ^(C)God shows his love for us in that ^(D)while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. ⁹ Since, therefore, ^(E)we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from ^(F)the wrath of God. ¹⁰ For if ^(G)while we were enemies ^(H)we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by ^(I)his life. ¹¹ More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received ^(J)reconciliation.

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.
