But God's free gift is not like Adam's offense. For if many people died as the result of one man's offense, how much more have God's grace and the free gift given through the kindness of one man, Jesus the Messiah, been showered on many people!

Nor can the free gift be compared to what came through the man who sinned. For the sentence that followed one man's offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift brought justification, even after many offenses.

For when you were slaves of sin, you were "free" as far as righteousness was concerned.

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in union with the Messiah Jesus our Lord.

So while her husband is living, she will be called an adulterer if she lives with another man. But if her husband dies, she is free from this Law, so that she is not an adulterer if she marries another man.

For the Spirit's law of life in the Messiah Jesus has set me free from the Law of sin and death.

that the creation itself would also be set free from corrupting bondage in order to share the glorious freedom of God's children.
