17 For if by the one man’s1 offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)
18 Therefore, as through1 one man’s offense judgmentcame to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through aone Man’s righteous act thefreegiftcamebto all men, resulting in justification of life.
19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by aone Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.
20 Moreover athe law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace babounded much more,
