| However, the gift is not like the transgression. For if the transgression of one man led to the death of the many, how much greater was the overflowing effect of the grace of God and the gift of the one man Jesus Christ that has abounded for the many. | But the free gift isn’t like the trespass.

To whomever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom much was entrusted, of him more will be asked. |
