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.

  1. Romans 5:15 Lit not as the transgression, so also is the gracious gift

  5. Romans 5:18 Lit to justification

15 But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died through the one man’s trespass, much more surely have the grace of God and the gift in the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abounded for the many. 16 And the gift is not like the effect of the one man’s sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the gift following many trespasses brings justification. 17 If, because of the one man’s trespass, death reigned through that one, much more surely will those who receive the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ.

18 Therefore just as one man’s trespass led to condemnation for all, so one man’s act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all. 19 For just as through the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, so through the one man’s obedience the many will be made righteous.
