Romans 5:16 
Context| NET © | And the gift is not like the one who sinned. 1 For judgment, resulting from the one transgression, 2 led to condemnation, but 3 the gracious gift from the many failures 4 led to justification. |
| NIV © | Again, the gift of God is not like the result of the one man’s sin: The judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation, but the gift followed many trespasses and brought justification. |
| NASB © | The gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned; for on the one hand the judgment arose from one transgression resulting in condemnation, but on the other hand the free gift arose from many transgressions resulting in justification. |
| NLT © | And the result of God’s gracious gift is very different from the result of that one man’s sin. For Adam’s sin led to condemnation, but we have the free gift of being accepted by God, even though we are guilty of many sins. |
| MSG © | There's no comparison between that death-dealing sin and this generous, life-giving gift. The verdict on that one sin was the death sentence; the verdict on the many sins that followed was this wonderful life sentence. |
| BBE © | And the free giving has not the same effect as the sin of one: for the effect of one man’s sin was punishment by the decision of God, but the free giving had power to give righteousness to wrongdoers in great number. |
| NRSV © | And the free gift is not like the effect of the one man’s sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift following many trespasses brings justification. |
| NKJV © | And the gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned. For the judgment which came from one offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift which came from many offenses resulted in justification. |

| NET © Notes |
1 tn Grk “and not as through the one who sinned [is] the gift.” 2 tn The word “transgression” is not in the Greek text at this point, but has been supplied for clarity. 3 tn Greek emphasizes the contrast between these two clauses more than can be easily expressed in English. 4 tn Or “falls, trespasses,” the same word used in vv. 15, 17, 18, 20. |
