15 But the gift is not like the trespass[a], for if by the trespass of the one, the many died, by much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, multiply to the many. 16 And the gift is not as through the one who sinned, for on the one hand, judgment from the one sin led to condemnation, but the gift, from many trespasses, led to justification. 17 For if by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through the one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Jesus Christ. 18 Consequently therefore, as through one trespass came condemnation to all people, so also through one righteous deed came justification of life to all people. 19 For just as through the disobedience of the one man, the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one, the many will be made righteous.

  1. Romans 5:15 Literally “but not like the trespass so also the gift”

15 But alla the ho free gift charisma is not ou like hōs the ho transgression paraptōma. · kai For gar if ei the ho many polys died apothnēskō through the ho transgression paraptōma of the ho one heis, much polys more mallon did perisseuō the ho grace charis of ho God theos and kai the ho gift dōrea that came by en the grace charis · ho of the ho one heis man anthrōpos Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos overflow perisseuō to eis the ho many polys. 16 And kai the ho gift dōrēma is not ou like hōs the result dia of that one heis man’ s sin hamartanō; for gar the ho judgment krima following ek the one heis transgression led eis to condemnation katakrima, but de the ho free charisma gift following ek the many polys transgressions paraptōma led eis to justification dikaiōma. 17 For gar if ei by the ho transgression paraptōma of the ho one heis man · ho death thanatos reigned basileuō through dia that ho one heis, much polys more mallon will basileuō those ho who receive lambanō the ho abundance perisseia of ho grace charis and kai the ho gift dōrea of ho righteousness dikaiosynē reign basileuō in en life zōē through dia the ho one heis, Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos. 18 Therefore ara oun, just as hōs one heis man’ s transgression paraptōma brought eis condemnation katakrima for eis all pas men anthrōpos, so houtōs also kai one heis man’ s righteous dikaiōma act brought eis justification dikaiōsis and life zōē for eis all pas men anthrōpos. 19 For gar just hōsper as through dia one heis man’ s anthrōpos · ho disobedience parakoē · ho the ho many polys were made kathistēmi sinners hamartōlos, so houtōs also kai through dia the ho one heis man’s obedience hypakoē · ho the ho many polys will be made kathistēmi righteous dikaios.
