From verse 22
- Romans 5:12–21Rank 1 from verse 22
12Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
13(For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
14Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
15But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
16And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.
17For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
18Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.
19For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
20Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
21That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
12Wherefore, as by one man sinne entred into the world, and death by sin: and so death passed vpon all men, ‖for that all haue sinned.
13For vntill the Law sinne was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no Law.
14Neuertheles, death reigned from Adam to Moses, euen ouer them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adams transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come:
15But not as the offence, so also is the free gift: for if through the offence of one, many bee dead: much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man Iesus Christ, hath abounded vnto many.
16And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the iudgement was by one to condemnation: but the free gift is of many offences vnto iustification.
17For if ‖by one mans offence, death raigned by one, much more they which receiue abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousnes, shall reigne in life by one, Iesus Christ.
18Therfore as ‖by the offence of one, iudgment came vpon all men to condemnation: euen so by the ‖righteousnes of one, the free gift came vpon all men vnto iustification of life.
19For as by one mans disobedience many were made sinners: so by the obedience of one, shall many bee made righteous.
20Moreouer, the Lawe entred, that the offence might abound: but where sinne abounded, grace did much more abound.
21That as sinne hath reigned vnto death; euen so might grace reigne thorow righteousnes vnto eternall life, by Iesus Christ our Lord.
- 1 Corinthians 15:45–49Rank 2 from verse 22
45And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
46Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.
48As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
45And so it is written: The first man Adam was made a liuing soule, the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
46Howbeit that was not first which is spirituall: but that which is naturall, and afterward that which is spirituall.
47The first man is of the earth, earthy: The second man is the Lord from heauen.
48As is the earthy, such are they that are earthy, and as is the heauenly, such are they also that are heauenly.
49And as we haue borne the image of the earthy, wee shall also beare the image of the heauenly.
- John 5:21–29Rank 3 from verse 22
21For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.
22For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
23That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.
24Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
25Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
26For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
27And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
28Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
29And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
21For as the Father raiseth vp the dead, and quickeneth them: euen so the Sonne quickeneth whom he will.
22For the Father iudgeth no man: but hath committed all iudgement vnto the Sonne:
23That all men should honour the Son, euen as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not y e Sonne, honoreth not y e Father which hath sent him.
24Uerily, verily I say vnto you, Hee that heareth my word, & beleeueth on him that sent mee, hath euerlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation: but is passed from death vnto life.
25Uerily, verily I say vnto you, The houre is comming, & now is, when the dead shall heare the voice of the Sonne of God: and they that heare, shall liue.
26For as the Father hath life in himselfe: so hath he giuen to the Sonne to haue life in himselfe:
27And hath giuen him authority to execute iudgement also, because he is the Sonne of man.
28Marueile not at this: for the houre is comming, in the which all that are in the graues shall heare his voice,
29And shall come foorth, *they that haue done good, vnto the resurrection of life, and they that haue done euill, vnto the resurrection of damnation.
