English Standard Version

If many died through one man's trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many.

Romans 5:15

Jesus Christ is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world.

1 John 2:2

Romans 5 (English Standard Version)

12 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned—
13 for 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 sinning was 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 by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many.
16 And the free gift is not like the result of that one man's sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift following many trespasses brought justification.
17 For if, because of one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.
18 Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men.

1 John 2 (English Standard Version)

1 My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.
2 He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world.
3 And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments.
4 Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him,
5 but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him:

Though many people died because of one man's sin, God's grace is so much greater and has been shared with so many through his gracious gift in the person of Jesus Christ.

Romans 5:15

Through Jesus Christ our sins are forgiven — and not only our sins, but those of the whole world.

1 John 2:2

Romans 5 (Free Bible Version)

12 For through one man sin entered the world, and sin led to death. In this way death came to everyone, for everyone sinned.
13 Even before the law was given, sin was in the world, however it wasn't counted as sin because there was no law.
14 But death still ruled from Adam until Moses, even over those who didn't sin in the same way as Adam did.
Now Adam prefigured the one to come.
15 But the gift of Jesus is not like the sin of Adam. Though many people died because of one man's sin, God's grace is so much greater and has been shared with so many through his gracious gift in the person of Jesus Christ.
16 The result of the gift is not like that of the sin. The result of Adam's sin was judgment and condemnation, but the gift sets us right with God, despite our many sins.
17 As a result of one man's sin, death ruled because of him. But God's grace is so much greater and his gift sets us right, for everyone who receives it will rule in life through the person of Jesus Christ!
18 Just as one sin brought condemnation on everyone, in the same way one right act gave everyone the opportunity to live right.

1 John 2 (Free Bible Version)

1 My dear children, I'm writing this to you so you shouldn't sin. But if anybody should happen to sin, we have someone who defends us before the Father—Jesus Christ, who is truly good and right.
2 Through him our sins are forgiven—and not only our sins, but those of the whole world.
3 We can be sure that we do know him if we follow his commands.
4 Anyone who says, “I know him,” but doesn't do what he says, is a liar. They don't have the truth.
5 But those who follow God's word have his love totally fill their minds. This is how we know that we live in him.
