## Romans 5:12 in Context (Verses 9–15 KJV)
 
 [9 ](/kjv/romans/5/9) Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/romans/5/10) For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/romans/5/11) And not only *so*, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/romans/5/12) 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:
 
 [13 ](/kjv/romans/5/13) (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/romans/5/14) 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.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/romans/5/15) But not as the offence, so also *is* the free gift. 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.
