Romans 5:20-21

Expanded Bible

²⁰ The law came ·to make sin worse [or to reveal the true extent of sin; ^Lto increase the violation/transgression]. But when sin ·grew worse [increased; multiplied], God’s grace ·increased [multiplied/abounded all the more]. ²¹ ·Sin once used death to rule us [^LJust as sin reigned in death…], ·but God gave people more of his grace so that grace could rule [^L…so grace will reign] ·by making people right with him [through justification/righteousness]. And this brings ·life forever [eternal life] through Jesus Christ our Lord.
