12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned— 13 for until the Law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law. 14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who had not sinned in the likeness of the offense of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come.

15 But the free gift is not like the transgression. For if by the transgression 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 The gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned; for on the one hand the judgment arose from one transgression resulting in condemnation, but on the other hand the free gift arose from many transgressions resulting in justification. 17 For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.

18 So then as through one transgression there resulted condemnation to all men, even so through one act of righteousness there resulted justification of life to all men. 19 For as through the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the One the many will be made righteous. 20 The Law came in so that the transgression would increase; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, 21 so that, as sin reigned in death, even so grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

1 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? 2 May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it? 3 Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life.

Romans 5:12-6:4 NASB

Romans 5:12-6:4 NASB

1 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God

through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom also we have obtained

our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult

in hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only this, but we also exult in our

tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; 4 and

perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; 5 and hope

does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out

within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

6 For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the

ungodly. 7 For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps

for the good man someone would dare even to die. 8 But God

demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners,

Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, having now been justified by His

blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him. 10 For if

while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of

His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His

life. 11 And not only this, but we also exult in God through our Lord

Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

Romans 5:1-11 NASB

Romans 5:1-2 NASB

16 For this reason it is by faith, in order that it may be in accordance with

grace, so that the promise will be guaranteed to all the descendants , not only

to those who are of the Law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham,

who is the father of us all, 17 (as it is written, "A father of many nations have I

made you") in the presence of Him whom he believed, even God, who gives

life to the dead and calls into being that which does not exist. 18 In hope

against hope he believed, so that he might become a father of many nations

according to that which had been spoken, "So shall your descendants be."

19 Without becoming weak in faith he contemplated his own body, now as

good as dead since he was about a hundred years old, and the deadness of

Sarah's womb; 20 yet, with respect to the promise of God, he did not waver in

unbelief but grew strong in faith, giving glory to God, 21 and being fully

assured that what God had promised, He was able also to perform.

22 Therefore It was also credited to him as righteousness. 23 Now not for his

sake only was it written that it was credited to him, 24 but for our sake also,

to whom it will be credited, as those who believe in Him who raised Jesus our

Lord from the dead, 25 He who was delivered over because of our

transgressions, and was raised because of our justification.

1 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through

our Lord Jesus Christ

Romans 4:16-25; 5:1 NASB

16 For this reason it is by faith, in order that it may be in accordance with

grace, so that the promise will be guaranteed to all the descendants , not only

to those who are of the Law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham,

who is the father of us all, 17 (as it is written, "A father of many nations have I

made you") in the presence of Him whom he believed, even God, who gives

life to the dead and calls into being that which does not exist. 18 In hope

1 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through

our Lord Jesus Christ

Romans 4:16-25; 5:1 NASB

25b because in the forbearance of God He passed over the sins previously committed;

26 for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, so that He

would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

1 What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, has

found? 2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about,

but not before God. 3 For what does the Scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and

it was credited to him as righteousness." 4 Now to the one who works, his wage is not

credited as a favor, but as what is due. 5 But to the one who does not work, but

believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness,

6 just as David also speaks of the blessing on the man to whom God credits

righteousness apart from works:

7 "Blessed are those whose lawless deeds have been forgiven,

And whose sins have been covered.

8 "Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will not take into account."

9 Is this blessing then on the circumcised, or on the uncircumcised also? For we say,

"Faith was credited to Abraham as righteousness." 10 How then was it credited?

While he was circumcised , or uncircumcised ? Not while circumcised , but while

uncircumcised ; 11 and he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the

righteousness of the faith which he had while uncircumcised, so that he might be the

father of all who believe without being circumcised, that righteousness might be

credited to them, 12 and the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the

circumcision, but who also follow in the steps of the faith of our father Abraham

which he had while uncircumcised.

13 For the promise to Abraham or to his descendants that he would be heir of the

world was not through the Law, but through the righteousness of faith. 14 For if

those who are of the Law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise is nullified;

15 for the Law brings about wrath, but where there is no law, there also is no

violation.that what God had promised, He was able also to perform.

Romans 3:25b-31; 4:1-15 NASB

21 But now apart from the Law the righteousness of God has been

manifested, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, 22 even the

righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who

believe; for there is no distinction; 23 for all have sinned and fall short

of the glory of God, 24 being justified as a gift by His grace through the

redemption which is in Christ Jesus; 25 whom God displayed publicly

as a propitiation in His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate

His righteousness, because in the forbearance of God He passed over

the sins previously committed; 26 for the demonstration, I say, of His

righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the

justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

Romans 3:21-31 NASB
