sin and death entered into the world through one man

Wherefore, 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 .

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.

For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

Romans 5:12-22 (Excerpts)



And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.

Colossians 1:20
