5:9. Christ died for us. Much more therefore, being now justified by his blood, shall we be saved from wrath through him. 5:10. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son: much more, being reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. 5:11. And not only so: but also we glory in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received reconciliation. 5:12. Wherefore as by one man sin entered into this world and by sin death: and so death passed upon all men, in whom all have sinned. By one man... Adam, from whom we all contracted original sin. 5:13. For until the law sin was in the world: but sin was not imputed, when the law was not. Not imputed... That is, men knew not, or made no account of sin, neither was it imputed to them, in the manner it was afterwards, when they transgressed the known written law of God. 5:14. But death reigned from Adam unto Moses, even over them also who have not sinned, after the similitude of the transgression of Adam, who is a figure of him who was to come. 5:15. But not as the offence, so also the gift. For if by the offence of one, many died: much more the grace of God and the gift, by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. 5:16. And not as it was by one sin, so also is the gift. For judgment indeed was by one unto condemnation: but grace is of many offences unto justification. 5:17. For if by one man's offence death reigned through one; much more they who receive abundance of grace and of the gift and of justice shall reign in life through one, Jesus Christ. 5:18. Therefore, as by the offence of one, unto all men to condemnation: so also by the justice of one, unto all men to justification of life. 5:19. For as by the disobedience of one man, many were made sinners: so also by the obedience of one, many shall be made just. 5:20. Now the law entered in that sin might abound. And where sin abounded, grace did more abound. That sin might abound... Not as if the law were given on purpose for sin to abound: but that it so happened through man's perversity, taking occasion of sinning more, from the prohibition of sin. 5:21. That as sin hath reigned to death: so also grace might reign by justice unto life everlasting, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans Chapter 6 The Christian must die to sin and live to God. 6:1. What shall we say, then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 6:2. God forbid! For we that are dead to sin, how shall we live any longer therein? 6:3. Know you not that all we who are baptized in Christ Jesus are baptized in his death? 6:4. For we are buried together with him by baptism into death: that, as Christ is risen from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also may walk in newness of life. 6:5. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection.
