²² It is God's way of uprightness and comes through having faith in Jesus Christ, and it is for all who have faith, without distinction. ²³ For all men sin and come short of the glory of God, ²⁴ but by his mercy they are made upright for nothing, by the deliverance secured through Christ Jesus. ²⁵ For God showed him publicly dying as a sacrifice of reconciliation to be taken advantage of through faith. This was to vindicate his own justice (for in his forbearance, God passed over men's former sins)— ²⁶ to vindicate his justice at the present time, and show that he is upright himself, and that he makes those who have faith in Jesus upright also.

¹⁵ But there is no comparison between God's gift and that offense. For if one man's offense made the mass of mankind die, God's mercy and his gift given through the favor of the one man Jesus Christ have far more powerfully affected mankind. ¹⁶ Nor is there any comparison between the gift and the effects of that one man's sin. That sentence arose from the act of one man, and was for condemnation; but God's gift arose out of many offenses and results in acquittal. ¹⁷ For if that one man's offense made death reign through that one man, all the more will those who receive God's overflowing mercy and his gift of uprightness live and reign through the one individual Jesus Christ. ¹⁸ So as one offense meant condemnation for all men, just so one righteous act means acquittal and life for all men. ¹⁹ For just as that one man's disobedience made the mass of mankind sinners, so this one's obedience will make the mass of them upright.

¹ So there is no condemnation any more for those who are in union with Christ Jesus.
