And not only so, but we also rejoice in our tribulations: knowing that tribulation worketh stedfastness;

Therefore, as sin entered into the world through one man, and death through sin, so death passed to all men because all sinned.

ASV: 12ASV

Therefore, as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin; and so death passed unto all men, for that all sinned:—

For as through the one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the one, many will be made righteous.
