Romans 5

Adam and Christ

12Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, so death spread to all people, because all sinned— 13for sin was in the world before the Law, but sin is not charged to one's account when there is no Law. 14Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who did not sin in the likeness of Adam's transgression. Adam is a pattern of the one to come.

15But the gracious gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died through one man's trespass, how much more did God's grace and the gift in the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many. 16Nor is the gift like the result of the one man's sin. The judgment from one trespass led to condemnation, but the gracious gift from many trespasses led to a verdict of righteousness. 17For if death reigned through the one man's trespass, how much more will those who receive the overflowing grace and gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ.
