Romans 5:17-19

Expanded Bible

¹⁷ [^LFor if] One man’s ·sin [violation; transgression] caused death to ·rule over all people [^Lreign; rule] because of that one man. How much more, then, will those people who ·accept [receive] ·God’s full grace [^Lthe abundance of grace] and the great gift of ·being made right with him [righteousness] ·have true life and rule [or rule in the future life; ^Lreign/rule in life] through the one man, Jesus Christ. [^CJust as death “ruled” in Adam, so believers “rule” over death through Christ.]

¹⁸ So as one ·sin of Adam [^Lviolation; trangression] brought ·the punishment of death [condemnation] to all people, so too one ·good act that Christ did [^Lrighteous act/deed] ·makes all people right with God, bringing them true life [^Lbrings justification of life to all people]. ¹⁹ [^LFor just as…] One man disobeyed God, and many became sinners. ·In the same way, [^L…so also] one man obeyed God, and many will be made ·right [righteous].
