is son; much more, being reconciled, shall we be saved by his
life; (11)and not only so, but also rejoicing in God through our Lord
Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

(12)Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by
sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all sinned; (13)(for
until the law sin was in the world; but sin is not imputed when there
is no law. (14)But yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over
those who sinned not after the likeness of Adam's transgression, who
is a type of him who was to come.

(15)But not as the trespass, so also is the free gift; for if by the
trespass of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God, and
the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to the
many.

(16)And not as through one that sinned, is the gift; for the judgment
came of one unto condemnation, but the free gift came of many
trespasses unto justification. (17)For if by the trespass of the one,
death reigned through the one; much more they who receive the
abundance of the grace, and of the gift of righteousness, shall reign
in life through the one, Jesus Christ.)

(18)So then, as through one trespass it came upon all men unto
condemnation; so also through one righteous act it came upon all men
unto justification of life. (19)For as through the disobedience of the
one man the many were constituted sinners, so also through the
obedience of the one will the many be constituted righteous.

(20)Moreover the law came in also, that the trespass might abound. But
where sin abounded, grace did much more abound; (21)that as sin
reigned in death, so also might grace reign through righteousness unto
eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

WHAT then shall we say? Shall we continue in sin that grace may
abound? (2)Far be it! How shall we who died to sin, live any longer
therein? (3)Know ye not, that all we who were immersed into Jesus
Christ were immersed into his death? (4)We were buried therefore with
him by the immersion into his death; that as Christ was raised from
the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also should walk in newness
of life. (5)For if we have become united with the likeness of his
death, we shall be also with that of his resurrection, (6)knowing
this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin
might be destroyed, in order that we should no longer be in bondage to
sin. (7)For he tha
