Apostol § 90

Romans 5:17–6:2

Brethren, if by the one man’s offense death reigned through that one, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.) Therefore, as through one man’s offense judgment came upon all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man’s righteous act the free gift came upon all men, unto the justification of life. For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many shall be made righteous. Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more, so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness unto eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord... What then, shall we say? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? God forbid! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?
