"Now the law entered in such a way that offenses would abound. But where offenses were abundant, grace was superabundant."
— Romans 5:20, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:”
“And the law came in besides, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace did abound more exceedingly: ”
“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 though, by the one offense, death reigned through one, yet so much more so shall those who receive an abundance of grace, both of the gift and of justice, reign in life through the one Jesus Christ.
Therefore, just as through the offense of one, all men fell under condemnation, so also through the justice of one, all men fall under justification unto life.
For, just as through the disobedience of one man, many were established as sinners, so also through the obedience of one man, many shall be established as just.
Now the law entered in such a way that offenses would abound. But where offenses were abundant, grace was superabundant.
So then, just as sin has reigned unto death, so also may grace reign through justice unto eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
