         Paul’s Letter To The Romans

11 - Not only this! But we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus, through whom we have received reconciliation. {We are no longer at odds with God - in ouR heart - but now we are friends with him.} 12 Therefore - just as - sin [hamartia - missing the mark] entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all, because all sinned (fall short). 13 To be sure, sin was in the world before the law was given. But sin is not charged against anyone where there is no law stated. (Like no crime can be taken to court if there are no laws to have been broken.) 14 Regardless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who never sinned by breaking a command, as Adam did. Adam being a pattern (type, shadow) of the one [the real “first”/proto] that was to come. 15 But the gift (from the one that came) isn’t like the trespass. For if “the many” died by the trespass of the one - how much - moRe - does the gift overflow and abound to “the many”. (The same many.) The gift that came by the one man, Jesus Christ, and by God’s grace. [Both death, and the gift of Life, each came through one person, death through Adam, life through Jesus.]
