Do you think so little of the riches of God's kindness, forbearance, and patience, not conscious that His kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?

And the gift is not fit all to be compared with the results of that one man's sin. For that sentence resulted from the offense of one man, and it meant condemnation, but the free gift resulted from the offenses of many, and it meant right standing.

and so, in my case, the command which should have meant life turned out to mean death.

One man rates one day above another, another rates them all alike. Let every man be fully convinced in his own mind.
