16 The gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned; for on the one hand (A)the judgment arose from one offense, [a]resulting in condemnation, but on the other hand the gracious gift arose from many offenses, [b]resulting in justification. 17 For if by the offense of the one, death reigned (B)through the one, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness (C)reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.

18 So then, as through (D)one offense [c]the result was condemnation to all mankind, so also through one (E)act of righteousness [d]the result was (F)justification of life to all mankind.

18 Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people,(C) so also one righteous act resulted in justification(D) and life(E) for all people.
