by one man death entered the world.
[FONT="]For God cannot be tempted by evil, and God himself tempts no one. [/FONT][FONT="][/FONT][FONT="]14
1}Rather, each person is being tempted whenever he is being dragged off and enticed by the bait of his own desire. [/FONT][FONT="][/FONT][FONT="]15
2}Then, having conceived, the desire gives birth to sin;
3}and when sin is fully grown, it gives birth to death.

[FONT="]In the course of time Kayin(cain) brought an offering to Adonai from the produce of the soil; [/FONT][FONT="][/FONT][FONT="]4 and Hevel(Abel) too brought from the firstborn of his sheep, including their fat.
Adonai accepted Hevel and his offering [/FONT][FONT="][/FONT][FONT="]5 but did not accept Kayin and his offering. Kayin was very angry, and his face fell. [/FONT][FONT="][/FONT][FONT="]6 Adonai said to Kayin,
[/FONT][FONT="]“Why are you angry? Why so downcast? [/FONT][FONT="][/FONT][FONT="]7 If you are doing what is good, shouldn’t you hold your head high? And if you don’t do what is good, sin is crouching at the door — it wants you, but you can rule over it.” [/FONT][FONT="][/FONT][FONT="]8
Kayin had words with Hevel his brother; then one time, when they were in the field, Kayin turned on Hevel his brother and killed him.
[/FONT][FONT="]Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
[/FONT][FONT="]13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
14 Nevertheless death reigned(kayin killed) from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.
17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.
19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
