Romans 5:15-17

5:15 But the gracious gift is not like the transgression. ¹  For if the many died through the transgression of the one man, ²  how much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one man Jesus Christ multiply to the many! 5:16 And the gift is not like the one who sinned. ³  For judgment, resulting from the one transgression, ⁴  led to condemnation, but ⁵  the gracious gift from the many failures ⁶  led to justification. 5:17 For if, by the transgression of the one man, ⁷  death reigned through the one, how much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Jesus Christ!

Romans 11:11

11:11 I ask then, they did not stumble into an irrevocable fall, ⁸  did they? Absolutely not! But by their transgression salvation has come to the Gentiles, to make Israel ⁹  jealous.
