just as it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one,

so we who are many are one body in Christ, and individually we are members who belong to one another.

For if, by the transgression of the one man, ¹  death reigned through the one, how much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Jesus Christ!

And the gift is not like the one who sinned. ¹  For judgment, resulting from the one transgression, ²  led to condemnation, but ³  the gracious gift from the many failures ⁴  led to justification.

Consequently, ¹  just as condemnation ²  for all people ³  came ⁴  through one transgression, ⁵  so too through the one righteous act ⁶  came righteousness leading to life ⁷  for all people.

For just as through the disobedience of the one man ¹  many ²  were made sinners, so also through the obedience of one man ³  many ⁴  will be made righteous.

Not only that, but when Rebekah had conceived children by one man, ¹  our ancestor Isaac –

All have turned away, together they have become worthless; there is no one who shows kindness, not even one.” ¹ 

Since God is one, ¹  he will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith.

For just as in one body we have many members, and not all the members serve the same function,

so that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

But the gracious gift is not like the transgression. ¹  For if the many died through the transgression of the one man, ²  how much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one man Jesus Christ multiply to the many!

So then, just as sin entered the world through one man and death through sin, and so death spread to all people ¹  because ²  all sinned –
