12 Therefore, just as ^tsin came into the world through one man, and ^udeath through sin, and ^vso death spread to all men¹ because ^wall sinned—

23 ^dFor the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

13 Did that which is good, then, bring death to me? By no means! It was sin, producing death in me through what is good, in order that sin might be shown to be sin, and through the commandment might become sinful beyond measure.
