8 But God has shown us how much he loves us — it was while we were still sinners that Christ died for us!
9 By his blood we are now put right with God; how much more, then, will we be saved by him from God's anger!
10 We were God's enemies, but he made us his friends through the death of his Son. Now that we are God's friends, how much more will we be saved by Christ's life!
11 But that is not all; we rejoice because of what God has done through our Lord Jesus Christ, who has now made us God's friends.
12 Sin came into the world through one man, and his sin brought death with it. As a result, death has spread to the whole human race because everyone has sinned.
13 There was sin in the world before the Law was given; but where there is no law, no account is kept of sins.
14 But from the time of Adam to the time of Moses death ruled over the whole human race, even over those who did not sin in the same way that Adam did when he disobeyed God's command.Adam was a figure of the one who was to come.
