For as through the one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the one, many will be made righteous.
THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE
Romans 5:19 in context
Romans 5:16–21
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.
19
Selected verse

The law came in that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace abounded more exceedingly,
21
that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
