Translation

Therefore, then,

just as by one sin condemnation [is]

Go to footnote number

unto all men, so also by one righteous act, justification of life [is]

Go to footnote number

unto all men.

Paraphrase

It follows directly from the above that, just as condemnation and punishment came to all men because of one sin,

so likewise the spiritual wrongdoings of all our lives are made right by means of one righteous act.

Footnotes

The verb is not included in the Greek and must be assumed. The most natural thing to add is the verb of being “is,” but in English it is more clear to add something like “came” as seen in the paraphrase.

2

Once again the verb is omitted in the Greek.
