Romans 5:15-19
Legacy Standard Bible
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.

Romans 5:15-19
International Standard Version
15 But God’s free gift[a] is not like Adam’s offense.[b] For if many people died as the result of one man’s offense, how much more have God’s grace and the free gift given through the kindness of one man, Jesus the Messiah,[c] been showered on many people! 16 Nor can the free gift be compared to what came through the man who sinned.[d] For the sentence that followed one man’s offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift brought justification, even after many offenses. 17 For if, through one man, death ruled because of that man’s offense, how much more will those who receive such overflowing grace and the gift of righteousness rule in life because of one man, Jesus the Messiah![e]
18 Consequently, just as one offense resulted in condemnation for everyone, so one act of righteousness results in justification and life for everyone. 19 For just as through one man’s disobedience many people were made sinners, so also through one man’s obedience many people will be made righteous.
