¹² Therefore, just as through ^(A)one man sin entered into the world, and ^(B)death through sin, and ^(C)so death spread to all mankind, because all sinned— ¹³ for ^[a]until the Law sin was in the world, but ^(D)sin is not ^[b]counted against anyone when there is no law. ¹⁴ Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who had not sinned ^(E)in the likeness of the ^[c]violation committed by Adam, who is a ^[d](F)type of Him who was to come.

¹⁵ But ^[e]the gracious gift is not like the offense. For if by the offense of ^(G)the one ^(H)the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by ^(I)the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many. ¹⁶ The gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned; for on the one hand ^(J)the judgment arose from one offense, ^[f]resulting in condemnation, but on the other hand the gracious gift arose from many offenses, ^[g]resulting in justification. ¹⁷ For if by the offense of the one, death reigned ^(K)through the one, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness ^(L)reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.

¹⁸ So then, as through ^(M)one offense ^[h]the result was condemnation to all mankind, so also through one ^(N)act of righteousness ^[i]the result was ^(O)justification of life to all mankind. ¹⁹ For as through the one man’s disobedience ^(P)the many ^(Q)were made sinners, so also through ^(R)the obedience of the One ^(S)the many will be made righteous. ^20 [j](T)The Law came in so that the offense would increase; but where sin increased, ^(U)grace abounded all the more, ²¹ so that, as ^(V)sin reigned in death, so also ^(W)grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

²² For ^(A)as in Adam all die, so also in ^[a]Christ all will be made alive.

⁹ For in Him all the ^(A)fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form,

^20 (A)On that day you will know that ^(B)I am in My Father, and you are in Me, and I in you.

^14 (A)The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the ^(B)love of God, and the ^(C)fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.

Jesus Is the Light of the World

¹² Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, “^(A)I am the Light of the world; ^(B)the one who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.”

^46 (A)I have come as Light into the world, so that no one who believes in Me will remain in darkness.

Made Alive in Christ

2 And ^[a]you ^[b]were ^(A)dead ^[c]in your offenses and sins, ² in which you ^(B)previously walked according to the ^[d]course of ^(C)this world, according to ^(D)the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in ^(E)the ^[e]sons of disobedience. ³ Among them ^[f]we too all ^(F)previously lived in ^(G)the lusts of our flesh, ^[g]indulging the desires of the flesh and of the ^[h]mind, and were ^(H)by nature ^(I)children of wrath, ^(J)just as the rest. ⁴ But God, being ^(K)rich in mercy, because of ^(L)His great love with which He loved us, ⁵ even when we were ^(M)dead ^[i]in our wrongdoings, made us alive together ^[j]with Christ (^(N)by grace you have been saved),

²⁶ Moreover, I will give you a ^(A)new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the ^(B)heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.
