his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God’s righteousness,

17For if, because of one man’s trespass,
death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the
abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the
one man Jesus Christ. 18Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for
all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all
men. 19For as by the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the
one man’s obedience the many will be made righteous.

one death reigned through the one, much more the ones receiving the

deviation came to all men to condemnation, so also through one effected
righteousness came to all men to justification of life.

disobedience the many were constituted sinners, so also through the obedience
of the One the many shall be constituted righteous.
