Romans 5:14-16
New English Translation
Romans 5:14-16
New English Translation
14 Yet death reigned from Adam until Moses even over those who did not sin in the same way that Adam (who is a type[a] of the coming one) transgressed.[b] 15 But the gracious gift is not like the transgression.[c] For if the many died through the transgression of the one man,[d] how much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one man Jesus Christ multiply to the many! 16 And the gift is not like the one who sinned.[e] For judgment, resulting from the one transgression,[f] led to condemnation, but[g] the gracious gift from the many failures[h] led to justification.

Romans 5:14-16
New International Version
14 Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam,(A) who is a pattern of the one to come.(B)
15 But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man,(C) how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ,(D) overflow to the many! 16 Nor can the gift of God be compared with the result of one man’s sin: The judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation, but the gift followed many trespasses and brought justification.
