Romans 5:14 - An Understandable Version (2005 edition)

¹⁴ But the free gift [of salvation through Christ] is not [exactly] like the sin [of Adam]. For if many people died [physically] because of the sin of the one man [i.e., Adam], how much more did God’s favor abound by [providing] His gracious gift [of salvation] to many people because of the one man, Jesus Christ.
