Romans 5:11-13
EasyEnglish Bible
11 But that is not everything! We are very happy now because of what God has done for us. Our Lord Jesus Christ has made this possible. It is because of him that we have now become God's friends.
Adam and Christ
12 It was because of one man, Adam, that sin came into the world.[a] Death was the result of Adam's sin. Because of that, death came to all people, because everyone failed to obey God. 13 Before God gave his Law to Moses, people did wrong things. Sin was already there in the world. But at that time, God did not say that people were guilty, because there was no law for them to obey.

Death Through Adam, Life Through Christ
12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man,(B) and death through sin,(C) and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned(D)—
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.(E)
