Romans 5:17

For if, by the trespass of the one, death ruled through the one, how much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Jesus Christ.

In The King James Version

For 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.)

18So then, by one trespass condemnation came to all people, so also one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all people.
