The gift of God to me is not like the result of Adam's sin, for by Adam's sin judgment and condemnation fell on me without choice. Freedom and justification, on the other hand, are offered to me as a free gift.
Though Adam's sin condemned me, God's free gift has brought me justification: for as Adam's sin brought me death, God's abundant provision of grace (unmerited, undeserved favor) and free gift of righteousness, has made it so that I can reign in life as a king.
(Romans 5:15-17)
