Romans 5:20

20The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more,

205:20 Or lawThe Law came in so that the offense would increase; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more,

20The Law came in so that the transgression would increase; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more,

20But the Law came to increase and expand [the awareness of] the trespass [by defining and unmasking sin]. But where sin increased, [God’s remarkable, gracious gift of] grace [His unmerited favor] has surpassed it and increased all the more,

20The law came in so that the trespass would increase; but where sin increased, grace increased all the more,

20The law was given so that sin would increase. But where sin increased, God’s grace increased even more.
