Romans 5:17-19

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁷ It is certain that death ruled because of one person’s failure. It’s even more certain that those who receive God’s overflowing kindness and the gift of his approval will rule in life because of one person, Jesus Christ.

¹⁸ Therefore, everyone was condemned through one failure, and everyone received God’s life-giving approval through one verdict. ¹⁹ Clearly, through one person’s disobedience humanity became sinful, and through one person’s obedience humanity will receive God’s approval.
