Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned

Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned

When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned.

Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man,  and death through sin,  in this way death spread to all people,  because all sinned.

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

Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned

You know the story of how Adam landed us in the dilemma we’re in—first sin, then death, and no one exempt from either sin or death. That sin disturbed relations with God in everything and everyone, but the extent of the disturbance was not clear until God spelled it out in detail to Moses. So death, this huge abyss separating us from God, dominated the landscape from Adam to Moses. Even those who didn’t sin precisely as Adam did by disobeying a specific command of God still had to experience this termination of life, this separation from God. But Adam, who got us into this, also points ahead to the One who will get us out of it.

Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all mankind, because all sinned

Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, so death spread to all people [no one being able to stop it or escape its power], because they all sinned.

So then, just as sin entered the world through one man and death through sin, and so death spread to all people because all sinned
