American Standard Version
"And the law came in besides, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace did abound more exceedingly: "
— Romans 5:20, American Standard Version
“Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:”
“The law came in besides, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace abounded more exceedingly;”
“Now the law came in so that the transgression may increase, but where sin increased, grace multiplied all the more,”
“Now the law entered in that sin might abound. And where sin abounded, grace did more abound.”
“And the law came in addition, to make wrongdoing worse; but where there was much sin, there was much more grace:”
“Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:”
For if, by the trespass of the one, death reigned through the one; much more shall they that receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, even Jesus Christ.
So then as through one trespass the judgment came unto all men to condemnation; even so through one act of righteousness the free gift came unto all men to justification of life.
For as through the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the one shall the many be made righteous.
And the law came in besides, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace did abound more exceedingly:
that, as sin reigned in death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
