Romans 5:17-19
1599 Geneva Bible
17 [a]For if by the offense of one, death reigned through one, much more shall they which receive that abundance of grace, and of that gift of that righteousness, [b]reign in life through one, that is, Jesus Christ.
18 [c]Likewise then, as by the offense of one, the fault came on all men to condemnation, so by the justifying of one, the benefit abounded toward all men to the [d]justification of life.
19 [e]For as by one man’s [f]disobedience [g]many were made sinners, so by that obedience of that one, shall many also be made righteous.
