Book of Common Prayer

This Means That Death And Life Each Originated In The Act of One Man

¹² Because of this^[a], just as^[b] through one man sin entered into the world, and death through the sin, and so death went-through^[c] to all people because all sinned— ¹³ for until the Law, sin was in the world, but sin is not charged-to-the-account, there being no law. ¹⁴ Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over the ones not having sinned in the likeness^[d] of the transgression of Adam, who is a pattern^[e] of the One coming.

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^[f] is the grace-gift. For if by the trespass of the one man the many^[g] 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^[h] what resulted through one man having sinned is the given-gift. For the judgment is from one trespass^[i], resulting-in a verdict-of-condemnation; but the grace-gift^[j] is from many trespasses, resulting in a verdict-of-righteous^[k]. 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^[l] in life through the One, Jesus Christ.

Just As One Act Resulted In Condemnation, So One Act Resulted In Justification

¹⁸ So then^[m], as it was through one^[n] trespass resulting-in a verdict-of-condemnation for all people, so also it was through one righteous-act resulting-in a declaring-righteous^[o] issuing in^[p] life for all people. ¹⁹ For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made^[q] sinners, so also through the obedience of the One the many will be made righteous ones.

The Law Increased Sin, But Grace Abounded So As To Reign Through Righteousness

²⁰ And the Law^[r] came-in-beside^[s] that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace super-abounded, ²¹ in order that just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness, resulting-in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

I Am Going Away. Unless You Believe That I Am The One, You Will Die In Your Sins

²¹ Then He said again to them, “I am going away. And you will seek Me. And you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you are not able to come”. ²² So the Jews were saying, “He will not kill Himself, will He— because He says, ‘Where I am going, you are not able to come’?” ²³ And He was saying to them, “You are from below, I am from above. You are from this world, I am not from this world. ²⁴ Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins. For unless you believe that I am^[a] the One, you will die in your sins”.

I Am What I Have Been Saying I Am From The Beginning

²⁵ So they were saying to Him, “Who^[b] are You?” Jesus said to them, “What^[c] thing from the beginning I am indeed telling you! ²⁶ I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you. However, the One having sent Me is true. And what things I heard from Him— these things I am speaking to the world”. ²⁷ They did not know that He was speaking to them about the Father.

When You Lift Up The Son of Man, You Will Know I Am The One

²⁸ Then Jesus said to them, “When you lift-up^[d] the Son of Man, then you will know that I am the One, and I am doing nothing from Myself, but I am speaking these things just as the Father taught Me. ²⁹ And the One having sent Me is with Me. He did not leave Me alone, because I am always doing the things pleasing to Him”. ³⁰ While He was speaking these things, many believed in Him.

If You Remain In My Word, Then You Are Truly My Disciples And The Truth Will Set You Free

³¹ Then Jesus was saying to the Jews having believed Him, “If you remain^[e] in My word, you are truly My disciples, ³² and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free”.
