Romans 5:16-18
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
Death Reigned From One Sin. The Gift Brings a Reign In Life To Those Receiving It
16 And not as[a] what resulted through one man having sinned is the given-gift. For the judgment is from one trespass[b], resulting-in a verdict-of-condemnation; but the grace-gift[c] is from many trespasses, resulting in a verdict-of-righteous[d]. 17 For if by the trespass of the one man death reigned through the one, by much more the ones receiving the abundance of the grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign[e] in life through the One, Jesus Christ.
Just As One Act Resulted In Condemnation, So One Act Resulted In Justification
18 So then[f], as it was through one[g] trespass resulting-in a verdict-of-condemnation for all people, so also it was through one righteous-act resulting-in a declaring-righteous[h] issuing in[i] life for all people.
