KJV ORIGINAL
And 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.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
Here's the difference: when Adam messed up, that one mistake brought judgment and condemnation on everyone. But God's gift works the opposite way — it doesn't just cover one sin, it covers all our mistakes and makes us right with him.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
One person's mistake brought judgment, but God's gift covers every mistake and makes you right.
