The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from King James Bible: that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is
the figure of him that was to come.
ROM 5:15 But 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.
ROM 5:16 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.
ROM 5:17 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
