NET Bible® (New English Translation)

    9Much more then, because we have now been declared righteous by his blood, we will be saved through him from God’s wrath.

    10For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, how much more, since we have been reconciled, will we be saved by his life?

    12The Amplification of Justification So then, just as sin entered the world through one man and death through sin, and so death spread to all people because all sinned–

    13for before the law was given, sin was in the world, but there is no accounting for sin when there is no law.

    14Yet death reigned from Adam until Moses even over those who did not sin in the same way that Adam(who is a type of the coming one) transgressed.

    15But the gracious gift is not like the transgression. For if the many died through the transgression of the one man, how much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one man Jesus Christ multiply to the many!

    16And the gift is not like the one who sinned. For judgment, resulting from the one transgression, led to condemnation, but the gracious gift from the many failures led to justification.

    17For if, by the transgression of the one man, death reigned through the one, how much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Jesus Christ!

    21so that just as sin reigned in death, so also grace will reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
