Romans 5:13-15
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
13 sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law. 14 Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sins were not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come.
15 But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man’s trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift in the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many.[a]

Bibelen på hverdagsdansk
13 Synden var i verden, inden loven kom, men den kunne ikke udpeges, så længe der ingen lov var. 14 Døden herskede derfor også i verden, før loven kom, det vil sige fra Adam til Moses. Selv de, der ikke var ulydige mod Gud på samme direkte måde som Adam, måtte dø.
Adam kan sammenlignes med Jesus i den forstand, 15-16 at ét menneskes handling har fået konsekvenser for hele menneskeheden. Men hvor ét menneskes ulydighed førte til død for et utal af mennesker, bragte ét andet menneskes lydighed Guds vældige kærlighed og nåde ud til et utal af mennesker. Efter at ét menneske havde forsyndet sig, måtte Gud afsige dommen over os mennesker og erklære os skyldige. Men efter at mange mennesker havde forsyndet sig, gav Jesus Kristus frivilligt sit liv for os, og derved kunne Gud erklære os skyldfri.
