13 A wise son is the teaching of the father; but he that is a scorner, heareth not, when he is reproved. (A wise son listeneth to his father’s teaching; but he who is a mocker, heareth not, when he is rebuked.)

12 Therefore as by one man sin entered into this world [sin entered into the world], and by sin death, and so death passed forth into all men, in which man all men sinned.
13 For unto the law [Soothly till to the law] sin was in the world; but sin was not reckoned, when [the] law was not.
14 But death reigned from Adam unto Moses [But death reigned from Adam till to Moses], also into them that sinned not in likeness of the trespassing of Adam, the which is likeness of Christ to coming [the which is form, or likeness, of one to come].
15 But not as [the] guilt, so the gift; for if through the guilt of one many be dead[a], much more the grace of God and the gift in the grace of one man Jesus Christ hath abounded into many men.
16 And not as by one sin, so by the gift; for the doom of one into condemnation, but the grace of many guilts into justification [for why soothly doom of one into condemnation, grace forsooth of many guilts, or trespassings, into justification].
17 For if in the guilt of one death reigned through one, much more men that take plenty of grace, and of giving, and of rightwiseness, shall reign in life by one Jesus Christ.
18 Therefore as by the guilt of one into all men into condemnation, so [and] by the rightwiseness of one into all men into justifying of life.
19 For as by unobedience of one man many be made sinners, so by the obedience of one many shall be [ordained] just.
20 And the law entered, that guilt should be plenteous; but where guilt was plenteous, grace was more plenteous [grace abounded, or was plenteous].
21 That as sin reigned into death, so [and] grace reign by rightwiseness into everlasting life, by Jesus Christ our Lord.
6 Therefore what shall we say? Shall we dwell in sin, that grace be plenteous?
2 God forbid [Far be it]. For how shall we that be dead to sin, live yet therein?
