NASB: The Law came in so that the transgression would increase; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, (NASB ©1995) GWT: Laws were added to increase the failure. But where sin increased, God's kindness increased even more. (GOD'S WORD®) KJV: Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: ASV: And the law came in besides, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace did abound more exceedingly: BBE: And the law came in addition, to make wrongdoing worse; but where there was much sin, there was much more grace: DBY: But law came in, in order that the offence might abound; but where sin abounded grace has overabounded, WEY: Now Law was brought in later on, so that transgression might increase. But where sin increased, grace has overflowed; WBS: Moreover the law entered, that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: WEB: The law came in besides, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace abounded more exceedingly; YLT: And law came in, that the offence might abound, and where the sin did abound, the grace did overabound, | |
