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

18 So then, as through (G)one offense [d]the result was condemnation to all mankind, so also through one (H)act of righteousness [e]the result was (I)justification of life to all mankind. 19 For as through the one man’s disobedience (J)the many (K)were made sinners, so also through (L)the obedience of the One (M)the many will be made righteous.

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.
