Romans 5:14-16
International Standard Version
14 Nevertheless, death ruled from the time of[a] Adam to Moses, even over those who did not sin in the same way Adam did when he disobeyed.[b] He is a foreshadowing of the one who would come.
15 But God’s free gift[c] is not like Adam’s offense.[d] For if many people died as the result of one man’s offense, how much more have God’s grace and the free gift given through the kindness of one man, Jesus the Messiah,[e] been showered on many people! 16 Nor can the free gift be compared to what came through the man who sinned.[f] For the sentence that followed one man’s offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift brought justification, even after many offenses.
