For the promise to Abraham or to his seed, for him to be heir of the world, was not through law, but through a righteousness of faith.

And not only so, but also taking pride in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

Because of this, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, so also death passed to all men, in that all sinned.

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

So then, as through an offense of one man was for condemnation for all men, so also through a righteousness of one man was for justification of life for all men.

For as through the one man's disobedience the many were led sinful, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be led righteous.

so that, as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign, through righteousness, for eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

We were buried therefore with him through the immersion into death, so that as Christ was raised up from the dead through the glory of the Father, so also we may walk in newness of life.

Has therefore what is good become death to me? May it not happen! Instead, it is sin, so that it might be revealed, sin working death in me through what is good, so that through the commandment sin might become sinful to extreme.

For as many things as were written previously were written for our learning, so that through perseverance and through the encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope.
