Romans 5:16-20 And there is a difference between God’s gift (spiritual endowment) and the sin of one man. After the one sin, came the guilty judgment; but after so many sins, comes the undeserved gift of righteousness.

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁶ And there is a difference between God’s gift (spiritual endowment) and the sin of one man. After the one sin, came the guilty judgment; but after so many sins, comes the undeserved gift of righteousness. ¹⁷ It was by the transgression of the one that death ruled as king through that one. Even more so shall those who receive the abundance of grace, and of the gift of righteousness, rule as kings in life by the one, Jesus Christ. ¹⁸ The result of one trespass was condemnation for all men. The result of righteousness was justification (acquittal), which brings life for all men. ¹⁹ Through the disobedience of one man many have been made sinners. Yet through the obedience of one man many will be made righteous. ²⁰ The law came that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased God’s loving kindness increased even more.
