Romans 5:18 Context
16And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the iudgement was by one to condemnation: but the free gift is of many offences vnto iustification. 17For if by one mans offence, death raigned by one, much more they which receiue abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousnes, shall reigne in life by one, Iesus Christ. 18Therfore as by the offence of one, iudgment came vpon all men to condemnation: euen so by the righteousnes of one, the free gift came vpon all men vnto iustification of life. 19For as by one mans disobedience many were made sinners: so by the obedience of one, shall many bee made righteous. 20Moreouer, the Lawe entred, that the offence might abound: but where sinne abounded, grace did much more abound.
