19 Pois, assim como pela desobediência de um só homem muitos foram feitos pecadores, assim também, pela obediência de um só, muitos serão justificados.

20 A Lei veio para que a transgressão aumentasse; mas onde o pecado aumentou, a graça superabundou;

21 a fim de que, assim como o pecado reinou para a morte, também a graça reine pela justiça para a vida eterna, por meio de Jesus Cristo, nosso Senhor.
