Romans 5:15
Legacy Standard Bible
15 But [a]the gracious gift is not like the transgression. For if by the transgression of (A)the one (B)the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by (C)the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many.

Romans 6:6-23
Legacy Standard Bible
6 knowing this, that our (A)old man was (B)crucified with Him, in order that our (C)body of sin might be [a]done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin; 7 for (D)he who has died has been [b]justified from sin.
8 Now (E)if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, 9 knowing that Christ, having been (F)raised from the dead, [c]is never to die again; (G)death no longer is master over Him. 10 For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all, but the life that He lives, He lives to God. 11 Even so consider yourselves to be (H)dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
12 Therefore do not let sin (I)reign in your mortal body so that you obey its lusts, 13 and do not go on (J)presenting your members to sin as [d]instruments of unrighteousness, but (K)present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your members as [e]instruments of righteousness to God. 14 For (L)sin shall not (M)be master over you, for (N)you are not under law but (O)under grace.
Slaves of Righteousness
15 What then? (P)Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? (Q)May it never be! 16 Do you not (R)know that when you go on presenting yourselves to someone as (S)slaves for obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of (T)sin [f]leading to death, or of obedience [g]leading to righteousness? 17 But (U)thanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin, you obeyed from the heart that (V)pattern of teaching to which you were (W)given over, 18 and having been (X)freed from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. 19 (Y)I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just (Z)as you presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, [h]leading to further lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness, [i]leading to sanctification.
20 For (AA)when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. 21 Therefore what [j](AB)benefit were you then having [k]from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is (AC)death. 22 But now having been (AD)freed from sin and (AE)enslaved to God, you have your [l](AF)benefit, [m]leading to sanctification, and (AG)the end, eternal life. 23 For the wages of (AH)sin is death, but the gracious gift of God is (AI)eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
