Romans 5:15-16

Expanded Bible

¹⁵ But ·God’s free gift [^Lthe gift] is not like Adam’s ·sin [violation; transgression]. [^LFor if] Many people died because of the ·sin [violation; transgression] of that one man. ·But the grace from God was much greater, since many people received God’s gift of life [^L…how much more did God’s grace and gift abound/multiply to the many] by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ [^Cthe death of the “one” saved the “many”; see v. 19; Is. 53:11]. ¹⁶ But the gift of God is different from ·Adam’s [^Lthe one man’s] sin. After Adam sinned once, ·he was judged guilty [^Lhis judgment brought condemnation]. [^LBut] God’s free gift came after many ·sins [violations; transgressions], and it ·makes people right with God [^Lbrought justification].
