all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
(Rom 3:23 NRSV) since all have sinned and fall
short of the glory of God;
(Rom 5:12 KJV) 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:
(Rom 5:12 NRSV) Therefore, just as sin came into
the world through one man, and death came through sin, and so death spread
to all because all have sinned--
(1 Cor 2:14 KJV) But the
natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are
foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually
discerned.
(1 Cor 2:14 NRSV) Those who are unspiritual do
not receive the gifts of God's Spirit, for they are foolishness to them,
and they are unable to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.

to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of
his doings.
(Jer 17:9,10 NRSV) The heart is devious above all
else; it is perverse-- who can understand it?

to all according to their ways, according to the fruit of their doings.
Rom. 1:18-25 For the
wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness
of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest
in them; for God hath showed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation
of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are
made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified
him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations,
and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became
fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God
into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted
beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness
through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between
themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and
worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed
for ever. Amen.

is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
(Rom 14:12 NRSV) So then, each of us will be accountable
to God.
(John 1:1-3 KJV)
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word
was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by
him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
(John 1:1-3 NRSV) In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning
with God. All things came into being through him, and without him not one
thing came into being. What has come into being
(John 16:12-15KJV)
I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come,
he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but
whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things
to come.
He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and
shall show it unto you. All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore
said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall show it unto you.
(Rev 1:1 KJV) The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to show unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
(John 1:14 KJV) And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
(Phil 2:6-8 KJV) Who,
being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him
the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being
found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto
death, even the death of the cross.
(Phil 2:6 NRSV) who, though he was in the form
of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited,
but emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, being born in human likeness.
And being found in human form, he humbled himself and became obedient
to the point of death-- even death on a cross.
(Acts 4:12 KJV) Neither
is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven
given among men, whereby we must be saved.
(Acts 4:12 NRSV) There is salvation in no one else,
for there is no other name under heaven given among mortals by which we
must be saved."
(1 Tim 3:16 KJV)
And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest
in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the
Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

of our religion is great: He was revealed in flesh, vindicated in spirit,
seen by angels, proclaimed among Gentiles, believed in throughout the world,
taken up in glory.
(Heb 1:1-3 KJV)
God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto
the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto
us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also
he made the worlds; Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express
image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power,
when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the
Majesty on high;
(Mat 3:17 KJV) And lo a
voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
(Mat 12:18 KJV) Behold
my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased:
I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall show judgment to the Gentiles.
(Col 1:19 KJV) For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
(2 Cor 5:19 KJV) To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
(Mat 1:21 KJV) And she shall
bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save
his people from their sins.
(Mat 1:21 NRSV) She will bear a son, and you are
to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."
(Luke 2:11 KJV) For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
(Rom 14:10-12 KJV) But
why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother?
for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. For it
is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and
every tongue shall confess to God. So then every one of us shall give account
of himself to God.
(Rev 20:12-13 KJV) And
I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened:
and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were
judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to
their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death
and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged
every man according to their works.
(Luke 21:36 NRSV) Be alert at all times, praying that you may have the strength to escape all these things that will take place, and to stand before the Son of Man."

(Rom 5:19 NRSV) For just as by the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous.
(Rom 5:15-19 NRSV) But
the free gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died through the
one man's trespass, much more surely have the grace of God and the free
gift in the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abounded for the many.
And the free gift is not like the effect of the one man's sin. For the
judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift
following many trespasses brings justification. If, because of the
one man's trespass, death exercised dominion through that one, much more
surely will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift
of righteousness exercise dominion in life through the one man, Jesus Christ.
Therefore just as one man's trespass led to condemnation for all, so one
man's act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all.
For just as by the one man's disobedience the many
were made sinners, so by the one man's obedience the many will be made
righteous.
