Romans 5:19-21
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
19 For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made[a] sinners, so also through the obedience of the One the many will be made righteous ones.
The Law Increased Sin, But Grace Abounded So As To Reign Through Righteousness
20 And the Law[b] came-in-beside[c] that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace super-abounded, 21 in order that just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness, resulting-in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
