Romans 5:17-19
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
17 For if by the trespass of the one man death reigned through the one, by much more the ones receiving the abundance of the grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign[a] in life through the One, Jesus Christ.
Just As One Act Resulted In Condemnation, So One Act Resulted In Justification
18 So then[b], as it was through one[c] trespass resulting-in a verdict-of-condemnation for all people, so also it was through one righteous-act resulting-in a declaring-righteous[d] issuing in[e] life for all people. 19 For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made[f] sinners, so also through the obedience of the One the many will be made righteous ones.
