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

18 Then as one man’s trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one man’s act of righteousness leads to acquittal and life for all men. 19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by one man’s obedience many will be made righteous.
