Romans 5 — Context

9

Christ died for us. Therefore, having been justified now by his blood, all the more so shall we be saved from wrath through him.

10

For if we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, while we were still enemies, all the more so, having been reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.

11

And not only that, but we also glory in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

12

Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into this world, and through sin, death; so also death was transferred to all men, to all who have sinned.

13

For even before the law, sin was in the world, but sin was not imputed while the law did not exist.

14

Yet death reigned from Adam until Moses, even in those who have not sinned, in the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a figure of him who was to come.

15

But the gift is not entirely like the offense. For though by the offense of one, many died, yet much more so, by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, has the grace and gift of God abounded to many.
