Romans
5:12-21
12
THEREFORE, JUST AS SIN ENTERED THE WORLD
THROUGH
ONE MAN,
AND
DEATH THROUGH SIN,
AND
IN THIS WAY DEATH CAME TO ALL MEN,
BECAUSE
ALL SINNED--
13
For before the Law was given,
Sin
was in the World.
But
Sin is not taken into account when there is no Law.
14
Nevertheless, Death Reigned
From
the time of Adam to the time of Moses,
Even
over those who did not Sin by breaking a Command,
As
did Adam, who was a Pattern of the one to come.
15
But the Gift is not like 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, overflow to the many!
16
Again, the Gift of God
Is
not like the result of the one man's Sin:
THE
JUDGMENT FOLLOWED ONE SIN
AND
BROUGHT CONDEMNATION,
BUT
THE GIFT FOLLOWED MANY TRESPASSES
AND
BROUGHT JUSTIFICATION.
17
For if, by the Trespass of the one man,
Death
Reigned through that one man,
How
much more will those who receive
God's
Abundant Provision of Grace
And
the gift of Righteousness
Reign
in Life through the one man, Jesus Christ.
18
CONSEQUENTLY, JUST AS THE RESULT OF ONE TRESPASS
WAS
CONDEMNATION FOR ALL MEN,
SO
ALSO THE RESULT OF ONE ACT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
WAS
JUSTIFICATION THAT BRINGS LIFE
FOR
ALL MEN.
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.
20
THE LAW WAS ADDED
THAT
THE TRESPASS MIGHT INCREASE.
BUT
WHERE SIN INCREASED,
GRACE
INCREASED ALL THE MORE,
21
SO THAT, JUST AS SIN REIGNED IN DEATH,
SO
ALSO GRACE MIGHT REIGN THROUGH RIGHTEOUSNESS
TO
BRING ETERNAL LIFE
THROUGH
JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD.
(Romans
5:12-21)
Today,
as in all previous Generations,
The
World exists in Death,
Under
the Rule of the one
Who
brings Death, Satan.
Only by receiving Christ, Who is
Life,
Does the sentence of Death cease to
exist.
The World exists in Death
Because it Refuses to Love the
Truth.
(2 Thessalonians 2:10)
