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

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.
