21
For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man.
22
For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.
45
So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being” ; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit.
46
The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual.
47
The first man was of the dust of the earth; the second man is of heaven.
48
As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are of heaven.
49
And just as we have borne the image of the earthly man, so shall we bear the image of the heavenly man.
13
When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins,
20
Indeed, there is no one on earth who is righteous, no one who does what is right and never sins.
1
As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins,
2
in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient.
3
All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath.
16
And the LORD God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden;
17
but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.”
1
Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?”
2
The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden,
3
but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’ ”
4
“You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman.
5
“For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
6
When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.
7
Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.
16
To the woman he said, “I will make your pains in childbearing very severe; with painful labor you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.”
17
To Adam he said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat from it,’ “Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life.
18
It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field.
19
By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.”
22
And the LORD God said, “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.”
23
So the LORD God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken.
24
After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.
5
The LORD saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time.
21
The LORD smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: “Never again will I curse the ground because of humans, even though every inclination of the human heart is evil from childhood. And never again will I destroy all living creatures, as I have done.
6
We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
6
All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away.

19
This is what the LORD said to me: “Go and stand at the Gate of the People, through which the kings of Judah go in and out; stand also at all the other gates of Jerusalem.
14
“What are mortals, that they could be pure, or those born of woman, that they could be righteous?
5
Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me.
3
Even from birth the wicked go astray; from the womb they are wayward, spreading lies.
9
What shall we conclude then? Do we have any advantage? Not at all! For we have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under the power of sin.
10
As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one;
11
there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God.
12
All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.”
12
Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned—
13
To be sure, sin was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not charged against anyone’s account where there is no law.
14
Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who is a pattern of the one to come.
15
But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many!
16
Nor can the gift of God be compared with the result of one man’s sin: The judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation, but the gift followed many trespasses and brought justification.
17
For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!
18
Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people, so also one righteous act resulted in justification and life for all people.
19
For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.
23
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
18
For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.
23
but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me.
7
The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so.
8
Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.
