Romans 5:19-21
New English Translation
19 For just as through the disobedience of the one man[a] many[b] were constituted sinners, so also through the obedience of one man[c] many[d] will be constituted righteous. 20 Now the law came in[e] so that the transgression[f] may increase, but where sin increased, grace multiplied all the more, 21 so that just as sin reigned in death, so also grace will reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
