Romans 5:15 in context

Romans 5:12–18

12

Therefore, as sin entered into the world through one man, and death through sin, so death passed to all men because all sinned.

13

For until the law, sin was in the world; but sin is not charged when there is no law.

14

Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those whose sins weren’t like Adam’s disobedience, who is a foreshadowing of him who was to come.

15
Selected verse

But the free gift isn’t like the trespass. For if by the trespass of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many.

16

The gift is not as through one who sinned; for the judgment came by one to condemnation, but the free gift followed many trespasses to justification.

17

For if by the trespass of the one, death reigned through the one; so much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Jesus Christ.

18

So then as through one trespass, all men were condemned; even so through one act of righteousness, all men were justified to life.
