through His blood, much more shall we be delivered from God's
anger through Him.
005:010 For if while we were hostile to God we were reconciled to Him
through the death of His Son, it is still more certain
that now that we are reconciled, we shall obtain salvation
through Christ's life.
005:011 And not only so, but we also exult in God through our
Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now obtained
that reconciliation.
005:012 What follows? This comparison. Through one man sin entered
into the world, and through sin death, and so death passed
to all mankind in turn, in that all sinned.
005:013 For prior to the Law sin was already in the world; only it
is not entered in the account against us when no Law exists.
005:014 Yet Death reigned as king from Adam to Moses even over
those who had not sinned, as Adam did, against Law.
And in Adam we have a type of Him whose coming was still future.
005:015 But God's free gift immeasurably outweighs the transgression.
For if through the transgression of the one individual the mass
of mankind have died, infinitely greater is the generosity
with which God's grace, and the gift given in His grace
which found expression in the one man Jesus Christ, have been
bestowed on the mass of mankind.
005:016 And it is not with the gift as it was with the results of one
individual's sin; for the judgement which one individual
provoked resulted in condemnation, whereas the free gift
after a multitude of transgressions results in acquittal.
005:017 For if, through the transgression of the one individual,
Death made use of the one individual to seize the sovereignty,
all the more shall those who receive God's overflowing grace
