Romans 5:19-21
EasyEnglish Bible
19 One man did not obey God and, as a result, many people became guilty because of their sins. But, because one man did obey God, many people will become right with God.[a]
20 God gave his Law to Moses to show more clearly that people were doing wrong things. But when people did more and more wrong things, God continued to be kind in more and more ways. 21 We see that sin ruled people's lives and brought death to them. But God's gift makes people right with him, and that is what rules their lives. People receive that gift because God is kind. As a result, they will have life with God for ever, because of what our Lord Jesus Christ has done.

- 5:19 Jesus Christ died on the cross as a sacrifice, so that God would forgive people's sins. As a result, God forgives the sins of the many people who believe in Jesus. They become right with God. These people do not receive death as a punishment for sin. Instead, they receive true life as a gift from God, because he is kind.
