Romans 5:16 in Context — Romans 5

14 No obstante, reinó la muerte desde Adam hasta Moisés, aun en los que no pecaron á la manera de la rebelión de Adam; el cual es figura del que había de venir.

15 Mas no como el delito, tal fué el don: porque si por el delito de aquel uno murieron los muchos, mucho más abundó la gracia de Dios á los muchos, y el don por la gracia de un hombre, Jesucristo.

16 Ni tampoco de la manera que por un pecado, [así] también el don: porque el juicio á la verdad [vino] de un [pecado] para condenación, mas la gracia [vino] de muchos delitos para justificación.

17 Porque, si por un delito reinó la muerte por uno, mucho más reinarán en vida por un Jesucristo los que reciben la abundancia de la gracia, y del don de la justicia.

18 Así que, de la manera que por un delito [vino la culpa] á todos los hombres para condenación, así por una justicia [vino la gracia] á todos los hombres para justificación de vida.
