15But the gift is not like the trespass. For if by the trespass of the one man the many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus the Messiah, overflowed to the many.

16And the gift is not like what came through the one who sinned. For the judgment from one trespass led to condemnation, but the gracious gift from many trespasses led to justification.

17For if, by the trespass of the one, death reigned through the one, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Jesus the Messiah.

18So then, as through one trespass condemnation came to all people, so also through one righteous act justification that brings life came to all people.

19For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.

20The law came in alongside so that the trespass might increase; but where sin increased, grace overflowed all the more,

21so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus the Messiah our Lord.
