But the free gift isn’t like the trespass. For if by the trespass of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God, and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many.
World English Bible (WEB)
But{G235} not{G3756} as{G5613} the offence{G3900}, so{G3779} also{G2532} is the free gift{G5486}.
