Romans 5:19 in Context — Romans 5

17 Si par l’offense d’un seul la mort a régné par lui seul, à plus forte raison ceux qui reçoivent l’abondance de la grâce et du don de la justice régneront-ils dans la vie par Jésus-Christ lui seul.

18 Ainsi donc, comme par une seule offense la condamnation a atteint tous les hommes, de même par un seul acte de justice la justification qui donne la vie s’étend à tous les hommes.

19 Car, comme par la désobéissance d’un seul homme beaucoup ont été rendus pécheurs, de même par l’obéissance d’un seul beaucoup seront rendus justes.

20 Or, la loi est intervenue pour que l’offense abondât, mais là où le péché a abondé, la grâce a surabondé,

21 afin que, comme le péché a régné par la mort, ainsi la grâce régnât par la justice pour la vie éternelle, par Jésus-Christ notre Seigneur.
