Romans 5:15-19
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
One Sin Brought Death To Adam’s Many. God’s Gift Abounded To Christ’s Many
15 But not as is the trespass, so also[a] is the grace-gift. For if by the trespass of the one man the many[b] died, by much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one man Jesus Christ abounded for the many.
Death Reigned From One Sin. The Gift Brings a Reign In Life To Those Receiving It
16 And not as[c] what resulted through one man having sinned is the given-gift. For the judgment is from one trespass[d], resulting-in a verdict-of-condemnation; but the grace-gift[e] is from many trespasses, resulting in a verdict-of-righteous[f]. 17 For if by the trespass of the one man death reigned through the one, by much more the ones receiving the abundance of the grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign[g] in life through the One, Jesus Christ.
Just As One Act Resulted In Condemnation, So One Act Resulted In Justification
18 So then[h], as it was through one[i] trespass resulting-in a verdict-of-condemnation for all people, so also it was through one righteous-act resulting-in a declaring-righteous[j] issuing in[k] life for all people. 19 For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made[l] sinners, so also through the obedience of the One the many will be made righteous ones.

- Romans 5:15 When referring to Adam, ‘the many’ and ‘all’ mean all his physical progeny, mankind. When referring to Christ, they mean all His spiritual progeny, those receiving the gift, v 17.
- Romans 5:16 not as... is. That is, the result of Adam’s act (judgment earned in response to one sin, resulting in condemnation and the reign of death) is not like the gift given (righteousness given in response to many sins, resulting in justification and our reign in life).
