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.
Satan Tempts The Son of God To Act Contrary To His Father’s Will
4 Then Jesus was led-up into the wilderness by the Spirit to be tempted by the devil. 2 And having fasted for forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry. 3 And having come to Him, the one tempting said to Him, “If You are[a] God’s Son, say that these stones should become loaves-of-bread”. 4 But the One, having responded, said, “It has been written [in Deut 8:3]: ‘Mankind[b] shall live not on bread alone, but on every word proceeding-out through the mouth of God’” 5 Then the devil takes Him into the holy city. And he stood Him on the pinnacle of the temple. 6 And he says to Him, “If You are God’s Son, throw Yourself down. For it has been written: ‘Because[c] He will command His angels concerning You, and they will lift You up on their hands that You may not ever strike Your foot against a stone’” [Ps 91:11-12]. 7 Jesus said to him, “Again[d], it has been written: ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test’” [Deut 6:16]. 8 Again, the devil takes Him to a very high mountain and shows Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 And he said to Him, “I will give all these things to You if, having fallen-down, You give-worship to me”. 10 Then Jesus says to him, “Go-away, Satan! For it has been written: ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and serve Him only’” [Deut 6:13]. 11 Then the devil leaves Him. And behold— angels came to Him and were ministering to Him.
