Romans 5:12

Read in context

Romans 5:10–14 · Berean Standard Bible

10 For if, when we were enemies of God, we were reconciled to Him through the death of His Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through His life!

11 Not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, so also death was passed on to all men, because all sinned.

13 For sin was in the world before the law was given; but sin is not taken into account when there is no law.

14 Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who did not sin in the way that Adam transgressed. He is a pattern of the One to come.
