Rom. 5:12‑21• ¹²Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
¹³(For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
¹⁴Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
¹⁵But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
¹⁶And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.
¹⁷For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
¹⁸Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.
¹⁹For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
²⁰Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
²¹That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. (Rom. 5:12‑21)

• Sin in this 15th verse is clearly sin in the act: for other scriptures, such, for instance as Rom. 7:7, show us that lust itself is sin in the nature. Only let sin in the nature conceive, and sin in the act is brought forth. (“James 1” by F.B. Hole)
