15 But [a]the gracious gift is not like the transgression. For if by the transgression of (A)the one (B)the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by (C)the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many. 16 And the gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned; for on the one hand (D)the judgment arose from one transgression [b]resulting in condemnation, but on the other hand the gracious gift arose from many transgressions [c]resulting in justification. 17 For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned (E)through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will (F)reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.

18 So then as through (G)one transgression [d]there resulted condemnation to all men, even so through one (H)act of righteousness [e]there resulted (I)justification of life to all men. 19 For as through the one man’s disobedience (J)the many (K)were appointed sinners, even so through (L)the obedience of the One (M)the many will be appointed righteous.

15 But not as the trespass, so also is the free gift. For if by the trespass of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God, and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound unto the many. 16 And not as through one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment came of one unto condemnation, but the free gift came of many trespasses unto [a]justification. 17 For if, by the trespass of the one, death reigned through the one; much more shall they that receive the abundance of grace and [b]of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, even Jesus Christ. 18 So then as through one trespass the judgment came unto all men to condemnation; even so through one act of righteousness the free gift came unto all men to justification of life. 19 For as through the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the one shall the many be made righteous.
