Romans 5:19-21
New Catholic Bible
19 For just as through the disobedience of one man the many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one man the many will be made righteous.[a]
20 Purpose of the Law. When the Law was added, offenses multiplied; but the increase in sins was far exceeded by the increase in grace. 21 Hence, as sin’s reign resulted in death, so the grace of God also might reign through righteousness resulting in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
