Romans 5:18-21

Death in Adam, Life in Christ

¹⁸ Therefore, as one trespass ₁ led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness ₂ leads to justification and life for _f all men. ¹⁹ For as by the one man's _g disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's _h obedience the many will be made righteous. ²⁰ Now _i the law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, _j grace abounded all the more, ²¹ so that, _k as sin reigned in death, _l grace also might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
