14. Death in Adam, Life in Christ

    (Genesis 3:1–7)

15. 12RVTherefore, as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin; and so death passed unto all men, for that all sinned:—BSBBSB: Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, so also death was passed on to all men, because all sinned.
16. 13RVfor until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.BSBBSB: For sin was in the world before the law was given; but sin is not taken into account when there is no law.
17. 14RVNevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the likeness of Adam’s transgression, who is a figure of him that was to come.BSBBSB: Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who did not sin in the way that Adam transgressed. He is a pattern of the One to come.
18. 15RVBut not as the trespass, so also is the free gift. For if by the trespass of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God, and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound unto the many.BSBBSB: But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many!
19. 16RVAnd not as through one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment came of one unto condemnation, but the free gift came of many trespasses unto justification.BSBBSB: Again, the gift is not like the result of the one man’s sin: The judgment that followed one sin brought condemnation, but the gift that followed many trespasses brought justification.
20. 17RVFor if, by the trespass of the one, death reigned through the one; much more shall they that receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, even Jesus Christ.BSBBSB: For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!
21. 18RVSo then as through one trespass the judgment came unto all men to condemnation; even so through one act of righteousness the free gift came unto all men to justification of life.BSBBSB: So then, just as one trespass brought condemnation for all men, so also one act of righteousness brought justification and life for all men.
22. 19RVFor as through the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the one shall the many be made righteous.BSBBSB: For 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.
23. 20RVAnd the law came in beside, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace did abound more exceedingly:BSBBSB: The law came in so that the trespass would increase; but where sin increased, grace increased all the more,
24. 21RVthat, as sin reigned in death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.BSBBSB: so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
