Adam and Christ Contrasted:
12When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so
death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned. 13Yes, people sinned
even before the law was
given. But it was not counted as sin because there was not yet any law
to break. 14Still, everyone died—from the time of Adam to the time of
Moses—even those who did not disobey an explicit commandment of God, as
Adam did. Now Adam is a symbol, a representation of Christ, who was
yet to come. 15But there is a great difference between Adam’s sin and
God’s gracious gift. For the sin of this one man, Adam, brought death
to many. But even greater is God’s wonderful grace and his gift of
forgiveness to many through this other man, Jesus Christ. 16And the
result of God’s gracious gift is very different from the result of that
one man’s sin. For Adam’s sin led to condemnation, but God’s free gift
leads to our being made right with God, even though we are guilty of
many sins. 17For the sin of this one man, Adam, caused death to rule
over many. But even greater is God’s wonderful grace and his gift of
righteousness, for all who receive it will live in triumph over sin and
death through this one man, Jesus Christ .
18Yes, Adam’s one sin brings condemnation for everyone, but Christ’s
one act of righteousness brings a right relationship with God and new
life for everyone. 19Because one person disobeyed God, many became
sinners. But because one other person obeyed God, many will be made
righteous.
20God’s law was given so that all people could see how sinful they
were. But as people sinned more and more, God’s wonderful grace became
more abundant. 21So just as sin ruled over all people and brought them
to death, now God’s wonderful grace rules instead, giving us right
standing with God and resulting in eternal life through Jesus Christ
our Lord.
