Romans 5:16

And not as by one sin, so by the gift; for the doom, (or the judgement, or the sentence), of one into condemnation, but the (gift of) grace of (or over) many guilts [or many trespassings] into justification.

Wycliffe Modern Spelling

In The King James Version

And 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.

In Context

15But not as [the] guilt [or as the trespass], so the gift; for if through the guilt [or through the trespass] of one many be dead, much more the grace of God and the gift in the grace of one man Jesus Christ hath abounded into many men.

17For if in the guilt of one death reigned through one, much more men that take plenty of grace (or those who receive an abundance of grace), and of giving, and of rightwiseness, shall reign in life by one Jesus Christ.
