KJV ORIGINAL
Nevertheless 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.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
But here's the thing — death was still running the show from Adam all the way to Moses, even over people who didn't mess up in the exact same way Adam did. Adam was basically a preview of someone who was coming later.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Death was universal even before the law existed, and Adam was just the opening act for Jesus.
