Romans 5:19-21
Worldwide English (New Testament)
19 One man did not obey. And so many people were bad people. One man obeyed. And so many people will be made right with God.
20 When the law came, it showed how wrong people really were. But when people were really bad, God was even more kind.
21 The wrong things people did ruled over them, and they died. Now God has been very kind. He has made people right with him. So now God's blessing will rule over them, and they will live for ever. Jesus Christ our Lord has done this for them.

Romans 5:19-21
New International Version
19 For just as through the disobedience of the one man(A) the many were made sinners,(B) so also through the obedience(C) of the one man the many will be made righteous.
20 The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase.(D) But where sin increased, grace increased all the more,(E) 21 so that, just as sin reigned in death,(F) so also grace(G) might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life(H) through Jesus Christ our Lord.
