For if many died through one man's trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift in the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many.And the free gift is not like the effect of that one man's sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift following many trespasses brings justification.If, because of one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.Then as one man's trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one man's act of righteousness leads to acquittal and life for all men.For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by one man's obedience many will be made righteous.Through him we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in our hope of sharing the glory of God.

And why did he murder him? Because his own deeds were evil and his brother's righteous.Do not wonder, brethren, that the world hates you.We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love abides in death.Any one who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.But if any one has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him?Little children, let us not love in word or speech but in deed and in truth. By this we shall know that we are of the truth, and reassure our hearts before himBeloved, we are God's children now; it does not yet appear what we shall be, but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.
