New Testament

Romans 5:17-21 Modern English Version (MEV)

17. For if by one man’s trespass death reigned through him, then how much more will those who receive abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.

18. Therefore just as through the trespass of one man came condemnation for all men, so through the righteous act of One came justification of life for all men.

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

20. But the law entered, so that sin might increase, but where sin increased, grace abounded much more,

21. so that just as sin reigned in death, grace might reign through righteousness unto eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
