Romans 5:16 in context

  1. 14Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those whose sins weren’t like Adam’s disobedience, who is a foreshadowing of him who was to come.
  2. 15But the free gift isn’t like the trespass. For if by the trespass of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God, and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many.
  3. 16The gift is not as through one who sinned; for the judgment came by one to condemnation, but the free gift came of many trespasses to justification.
  4. 17For if by the trespass of the one, death reigned through the one; so much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Jesus Christ.
  5. 18So then as through one trespass, all men were condemned; even so through one act of righteousness, all men were justified to life.
