THE GIFT AND THE TRESPASS

Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and DEATH through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned - but the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man's trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many.  And the free gift is not like the result of that one man's sin.  For the judgment following one trespass brought CONDEMNATION, but the free gift following many trespasses brought JUSTIFICATION.  For if, because of one man's trespass, DEATH reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in LIFE through the one man JESUS CHRIST.
