Romans 5:15
But the two are not the same, because God's free gift is not like Adam's sin. It is true that many people died because of the sin of that one man. But God's grace is much greater, and so is his free gift to so many people through the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ.

My friends, I am going to use an everyday example: when two people agree on a matter and sign an agreement, no one can break it or add anything to it.
16
Now, God made his promises to Abraham and to his descendant. The scripture does not use the plural "descendants," meaning many people, but the singular "descendant," meaning one person only, namely, Christ.
17
What I mean is that God made a covenant with Abraham and promised to keep it. The Law, which was given four hundred and thirty years later, cannot break that covenant and cancel God's promise.
Hebrews 6:13-18
13
When God made his promise to Abraham, he made a vow to do what he had promised. Since there was no one greater than himself, he used his own name when he made his vow.
14
He said, "I promise you that I will bless you and give you many descendants."
15
Abraham was patient, and so he received what God had promised.
16
When we make a vow, we use the name of someone greater than ourselves, and the vow settles all arguments.
17
To those who were to receive what he promised, God wanted to make it very clear that he would never change his purpose; so he added his vow to the promise.
18
There are these two things, then, that cannot change and about which God cannot lie. So we who have found safety with him are greatly encouraged to hold firmly to the hope placed before us.
Hebrews 8:8-13
8
But God finds fault with his people when he says, "The days are coming, says the Lord, when I will draw up a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah.
9
It will not be like the covenant that I made with their ancestors on the day I took them by the hand and led them out of Egypt. They were not faithful to the covenant I made with them, and so I paid no attention to them.

11
None of them will have to teach their friends or tell their neighbors, 'Know the Lord.' For they will all know me, from the least to the greatest.

Hebrews 9:15-20
15
For this reason Christ is the one who arranges a new covenant, so that those who have been called by God may receive the eternal blessings that God has promised. This can be done because there has been a death which sets people free from the wrongs they did while the first covenant was in effect.
16
In the case of a will it is necessary to prove that the person who made it has died,
17
for a will means nothing while the person who made it is alive; it goes into effect only after his death.
18
That is why even the first covenant went into effect only with the use of blood.
19
First, Moses proclaimed to the people all the commandments as set forth in the Law. Then he took the blood of bulls and goats, mixed it with water, and sprinkled it on the book of the Law and all the people, using a sprig of hyssop and some red wool.

He said, "This is the blood which seals the covenant that God has commanded you to obey."
Hebrews 9:28-20
Hebrews 10:16-18
16
"This is the covenant that I will make with them in the days to come, says the Lord: I will put my laws in their hearts and write them on their minds."
17
And then he says, "I will not remember their sins and evil deeds any longer."
18
So when these have been forgiven, an offering to take away sins is no longer needed.
Hebrews 13:20
God has raised from death our Lord Jesus, who is the Great Shepherd of the sheep as the result of his blood, by which the eternal covenant is sealed. May the God of peace provide you with every good thing you need in order to do his will, and may he, through Jesus Christ, do in us what pleases him. And to Christ be the glory forever and ever! Amen.
Hebrews 13:21
cause
Matthew 27:51
Then the curtain hanging in the Temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split apart,
Hebrews 10:4-22
4
For the blood of bulls and goats can never take away sins.
5
For this reason, when Christ was about to come into the world, he said to God: "You do not want sacrifices and offerings, but you have prepared a body for me.
6
You are not pleased with animals burned whole on the altar or with sacrifices to take away sins.
7
Then I said, 'Here I am, to do your will, O God, just as it is written of me in the book of the Law.' "
8
First he said, "You neither want nor are you pleased with sacrifices and offerings or with animals burned on the altar and the sacrifices to take away sins." He said this even though all these sacrifices are offered according to the Law.
9
Then he said, "Here I am, O God, to do your will." So God does away with all the old sacrifices and puts the sacrifice of Christ in their place.
10
Because Jesus Christ did what God wanted him to do, we are all purified from sin by the offering that he made of his own body once and for all.
11
Every Jewish priest performs his services every day and offers the same sacrifices many times; but these sacrifices can never take away sins.
12
Christ, however, offered one sacrifice for sins, an offering that is effective forever, and then he sat down at the right side of God.
13
There he now waits until God puts his enemies as a footstool under his feet.
14
With one sacrifice, then, he has made perfect forever those who are purified from sin.
15
And the Holy Spirit also gives us his witness. First he says,
16
"This is the covenant that I will make with them in the days to come, says the Lord: I will put my laws in their hearts and write them on their minds."
17
And then he says, "I will not remember their sins and evil deeds any longer."
18
So when these have been forgiven, an offering to take away sins is no longer needed.
19
We have, then, my friends, complete freedom to go into the Most Holy Place by means of the death of Jesus.
20
He opened for us a new way, a living way, through the curtain---that is, through his own body.
21
We have a great priest in charge of the house of God.
22
So let us come near to God with a sincere heart and a sure faith, with hearts that have been purified from a guilty conscience and with bodies washed with clean water.
for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate

Leviticus 26:14-46
14
The LORD said, "If you will not obey my commands, you will be punished.
15
If you refuse to obey my laws and commands and break the covenant I have made with you,
16
I will punish you. I will bring disaster on you---incurable diseases and fevers that will make you blind and cause your life to waste away. You will plant your crops, but it will do you no good, because your enemies will conquer you and eat what you have grown.
17
I will turn against you, so that you will be defeated, and those who hate you will rule over you; you will be so terrified that you will run when no one is chasing you.
18
"If even after all of this you still do not obey me, I will increase your punishment seven times.
19
I will break your stubborn pride; there will be no rain, and your land will be dry and as hard as iron.
20
All your hard work will do you no good, because your land will not produce crops and the trees will not bear fruit.
21
"If you still continue to resist me and refuse to obey me, I will again increase your punishment seven times.
22
I will send dangerous animals among you, and they will kill your children, destroy your livestock, and leave so few of you that your roads will be deserted.
23
"If after all of this punishment you still do not listen to me, but continue to defy me,
24
then I will turn on you and punish you seven times harder than before.
25
I will bring war on you to punish you for breaking our covenant, and if you gather in your cities for safety, I will send incurable diseases among you, and you will be forced to surrender to your enemies.
26
I will cut off your food supply, so that ten women will need only one oven to bake all the bread they have. They will ration it out, and when you have eaten it all, you will still be hungry.
27
"If after all of this you still continue to defy me and refuse to obey me,
28
then in my anger I will turn on you and again make your punishment seven times worse than before.
29
Your hunger will be so great that you will eat your own children.
30
I will destroy your places of worship on the hills, tear down your incense altars, and throw your dead bodies on your fallen idols. In utter disgust
31
I will turn your cities into ruins, destroy your places of worship, and refuse to accept your sacrifices.
32
I will destroy your land so completely that the enemies who occupy it will be shocked at the destruction.
33
I will bring war on you and scatter you in foreign lands. Your land will be deserted, and your cities left in ruins.
34
Then the land will enjoy the years of complete rest that you would not give it; it will lie abandoned and get its rest while you are in exile in the land of your enemies.
36
"I will make those of you who are in exile so terrified that the sound of a leaf blowing in the wind will make you run. You will run as if you were being pursued in battle, and you will fall when there is no enemy near you.
37
You will stumble over one another when no one is chasing you, and you will be unable to fight against any enemy.
38
You will die in exile, swallowed up by the land of your enemies.
39
The few of you who survive in the land of your enemies will waste away because of your own sin and the sin of your ancestors.
40
"But your descendants will confess their sins and the sins of their ancestors, who resisted me and rebelled against me,
41
and caused me to turn against them and send them into exile in the land of their enemies. At last, when your descendants are humbled and they have paid the penalty for their sin and rebellion,
42
I will remember my covenant with Jacob and with Isaac and with Abraham, and I will renew my promise to give my people the land.
43
First, however, the land must be rid of its people, so that it can enjoy its complete rest, and they must pay the full penalty for having rejected my laws and my commands.
44
But even then, when they are still in the land of their enemies, I will not completely abandon them or destroy them. That would put an end to my covenant with them, and I am the LORD their God.
45
I will renew the covenant that I made with their ancestors when I showed all the nations my power by bringing my people out of Egypt, in order that I, the LORD, might be their God."
46
All these are the laws and commands that the LORD gave to Moses on Mount Sinai for the people of Israel.
Deuteronomy 4:26-28
26
I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you today that, if you disobey me, you will soon disappear from the land. You will not live very long in the land across the Jordan that you are about to occupy. You will be completely destroyed.
27
The LORD will scatter you among other nations, where only a few of you will survive.
28
There you will serve gods made by human hands, gods of wood and stone, gods that cannot see or hear, eat or smell.
Deuteronomy 28:15-68
15
"But if you disobey the LORD your God and do not faithfully keep all his commands and laws that I am giving you today, all these evil things will happen to you:
16
"The LORD will curse your towns and your fields.
17
"The LORD will curse your grain crops and the food you prepare from them.
18
"The LORD will curse you by giving you only a few children, poor crops, and few cattle and sheep.
19
"The LORD will curse everything you do.
20
"If you do evil and reject the LORD, he will bring on you disaster, confusion, and trouble in everything you do, until you are quickly and completely destroyed.
21
He will send disease after disease on you until there is not one of you left in the land that you are about to occupy.
22
The LORD will strike you with infectious diseases, with swelling and fever; he will send drought and scorching winds to destroy your crops. These disasters will be with you until you die.
23
No rain will fall, and your ground will become as hard as iron.
24
Instead of rain, the LORD will send down duststorms and sandstorms until you are destroyed.
25
"The LORD will give your enemies victory over you. You will attack them from one direction, but you will run from them in all directions, and all the people on earth will be terrified when they see what happens to you.
26
When you die, birds and wild animals will come and eat your bodies, and there will be no one to scare them off.
27
The LORD will send boils on you, as he did on the Egyptians. He will make your bodies break out with sores. You will be covered with scabs, and you will itch, but there will be no cure.
28
The LORD will make you lose your mind; he will strike you with blindness and confusion.
29
You will grope about in broad daylight like someone blind, and you will not be able to find your way. You will not prosper in anything you do. You will be constantly oppressed and robbed, and there will be no one to help you.
30
"You will be engaged to a young woman---but someone else will marry her. You will build a house---but never live in it. You will plant a vineyard---but never eat its grapes.
31
Your cattle will be butchered before your very eyes, but you will not eat any of the meat. Your donkeys will be dragged away while you look on, and they will not be given back to you. Your sheep will be given to your enemies, and there will be no one to help you.
32
Your sons and daughters will be given as slaves to foreigners while you look on. Every day you will strain your eyes, looking in vain for your children to return.
33
A foreign nation will take all the crops that you have worked so hard to grow, while you receive nothing but constant oppression and harsh treatment.
34
Your sufferings will make you lose your mind.
35
The LORD will cover your legs with incurable, painful sores; boils will cover you from head to foot.
36
"The LORD will take you and your king away to a foreign land, where neither you nor your ancestors ever lived before; there you will serve gods made of wood and stone.
37
In the countries to which the LORD will scatter you, the people will be shocked at what has happened to you; they will make fun of you and ridicule you.
38
"You will plant plenty of seed, but reap only a small harvest, because the locusts will eat your crops.
39
You will plant vineyards and take care of them, but you will not gather their grapes or drink wine from them, because worms will eat the vines.
40
Olive trees will grow everywhere in your land, but you will not have any olive oil, because the olives will drop off.
41
You will have sons and daughters, but you will lose them, because they will be taken away as prisoners of war.
42
All your trees and crops will be devoured by insects.
43
"Foreigners who live in your land will gain more and more power, while you gradually lose yours.
44
They will have money to lend you, but you will have none to lend them. In the end they will be your rulers.
45
"All these disasters will come on you, and they will be with you until you are destroyed, because you did not obey the LORD your God and keep all the laws that he gave you.
46
They will be the evidence of God's judgment on you and your descendants forever.
47
The LORD blessed you in every way, but you would not serve him with glad and joyful hearts.
48
So then, you will serve the enemies that the LORD is going to send against you. You will be hungry, thirsty, and naked---in need of everything. The LORD will oppress you harshly until you are destroyed.
49
The LORD will bring against you a nation from the ends of the earth, a nation whose language you do not know. They will swoop down on you like an eagle.
50
They will be ruthless and show no mercy to anyone, young or old.
51
They will eat your livestock and your crops, and you will starve to death. They will not leave you any grain, wine, olive oil, cattle, or sheep; and you will die.
52
They will attack every town in the land that the LORD your God is giving you, and the high, fortified walls in which you trust will fall.
53
"When your enemies are besieging your towns, you will become so desperate for food that you will even eat the children that the LORD your God has given you.
54
Even the most refined man of noble birth will become so desperate during the siege that he will eat some of his own children because he has no other food. He will not even give any to his brother or to the wife he loves or to any of his children who are left.
56
Even the most refined woman of noble birth, so rich that she has never had to walk anywhere, will behave in the same way. When the enemy besieges her town, she will become so desperate for food that she will secretly eat her newborn child and the afterbirth as well. She will not share them with the husband she loves or with any of her children.
58
"If you do not obey faithfully all of God's teachings that are written in this book and if you do not honor the wonderful and awesome name of the LORD your God,
59
he will send on you and on your descendants incurable diseases and horrible epidemics that can never be stopped.
60
He will bring on you once again all the dreadful diseases you experienced in Egypt, and you will never recover.
61
He will also send all kinds of diseases and epidemics that are not mentioned in this book of God's laws and teachings, and you will be destroyed.
62
Although you become as numerous as the stars in the sky, only a few of you will survive, because you did not obey the LORD your God.
63
Just as the LORD took delight in making you prosper and in making you increase in number, so he will take delight in destroying you and in bringing ruin on you. You will be uprooted from the land that you are about to occupy.
64
"The LORD will scatter you among all the nations, from one end of the earth to the other, and there you will serve gods made of wood and stone, gods that neither you nor your ancestors have ever worshiped before.
65
You will find no peace anywhere, no place to call your own; the LORD will overwhelm you with anxiety, hopelessness, and despair.
66
Your life will always be in danger. Day and night you will be filled with terror, and you will live in constant fear of death.
67
Your hearts will pound with fear at everything you see. Every morning you will wish for evening; every evening you will wish for morning.
68
The LORD will send you back to Egypt in ships, even though he said that you would never have to go there again. There you will try to sell yourselves to your enemies as slaves, but no one will want to buy you."
Deuteronomy 29:18-29
18
Make sure that no man, woman, family, or tribe standing here today turns from the LORD our God to worship the gods of other nations. This would be like a root that grows to be a bitter and poisonous plant.
19
Make sure that there is no one here today who hears these solemn demands and yet convinces himself that all will be well with him, even if he stubbornly goes his own way. That would destroy all of you, good and evil alike.
20
The LORD will not forgive such a man. Instead, the LORD's burning anger will flame up against him, and all the disasters written in this book will fall on him until the LORD has destroyed him completely.
21
The LORD will make an example of him before all the tribes of Israel and will bring disaster on him in accordance with all the curses listed in the covenant that is written in this book of the LORD's teachings.
22
"In future generations your descendants and foreigners from distant lands will see the disasters and sufferings that the LORD has brought on your land.
23
The fields will be a barren waste, covered with sulfur and salt; nothing will be planted, and not even weeds will grow there. Your land will be like the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, of Admah and Zeboiim, which the LORD destroyed when he was furiously angry.
24
Then the whole world will ask, 'Why did the LORD do this to their land? What was the reason for his fierce anger?'
25
And the answer will be, 'It is because the LORD's people broke the covenant they had made with him, the God of their ancestors, when he brought them out of Egypt.
26
They served other gods that they had never worshiped before, gods that the LORD had forbidden them to worship.
27
And so the LORD became angry with his people and brought on their land all the disasters written in this book.
28
The LORD became furiously angry, and in his great anger he uprooted them from their land and threw them into a foreign land, and there they are today.'
29
"There are some things that the LORD our God has kept secret; but he has revealed his Law, and we and our descendants are to obey it forever.
Deuteronomy 30:17
But if you disobey and refuse to listen, and are led away to worship other gods,
Deuteronomy 30:18
you will be destroyed---I warn you here and now. You will not live long in that land across the Jordan that you are about to occupy.
Deuteronomy 31:28
Assemble all your tribal leaders and officials before me, so that I can tell them these things; I will call heaven and earth to be my witnesses against them.
Deuteronomy 31:29
I know that after my death the people will become wicked and reject what I have taught them. And in time to come they will meet with disaster, because they will have made the LORD angry by doing what he has forbidden."
Deuteronomy 32:19-44
19
"When the LORD saw this, he was angry and rejected his sons and daughters.
20
'I will no longer help them,' he said; 'then I will see what happens to them, those stubborn, unfaithful people.
21
With their idols they have made me angry, jealous with their so-called gods, gods that are really not gods. So I will use a so-called nation to make them angry; I will make them jealous with a nation of fools.
22
My anger will flame up like fire and burn everything on earth. It will reach to the world below and consume the roots of the mountains.
23
" 'I will bring on them endless disasters and use all my arrows against them.
24
They will die from hunger and fever; they will die from terrible diseases. I will send wild animals to attack them, and poisonous snakes to bite them.
25
War will bring death in the streets; terrors will strike in the homes. Young men and young women will die; neither babies nor old people will be spared.
26
I would have destroyed them completely, so that no one would remember them.
27
But I could not let their enemies boast that they had defeated my people, when it was I myself who had crushed them.'
28
"Israel is a nation without sense; they have no wisdom at all.
29
They fail to see why they were defeated; they cannot understand what happened.
30
Why were a thousand defeated by one, and ten thousand by only two? The LORD, their God, had abandoned them; their mighty God had given them up.
31
Their enemies know that their own gods are weak, not mighty like Israel's God.
32
Their enemies, corrupt as Sodom and Gomorrah, are like vines that bear bitter and poisonous grapes,
33
like wine made from the venom of snakes.
34
"The LORD remembers what their enemies have done; he waits for the right time to punish them.
35
The LORD will take revenge and punish them; the time will come when they will fall; the day of their doom is near.
36
The LORD will rescue his people when he sees that their strength is gone. He will have mercy on those who serve him, when he sees how helpless they are.
37
Then the LORD will ask his people, 'Where are those mighty gods you trusted?
38
You fed them the fat of your sacrifices and offered them wine to drink. Let them come and help you now; let them run to your rescue.
39
" 'I, and I alone, am God; no other god is real. I kill and I give life, I wound and I heal, and no one can oppose what I do.
40
As surely as I am the living God, I raise my hand and I vow
41
that I will sharpen my flashing sword and see that justice is done. I will take revenge on my enemies and punish those who hate me.
42
My arrows will drip with their blood, and my sword will kill all who oppose me. I will spare no one who fights against me; even the wounded and prisoners will die.'
43
"Nations, you must praise the LORD's people--- he punishes all who kill them. He takes revenge on his enemies and forgives the sins of his people."
44
Moses and Joshua son of Nun recited this song, so that the people of Israel could hear it.
Psalm 69:22-28
22
May their banquets cause their ruin; may their sacred feasts cause their downfall.
23
Strike them with blindness! Make their backs always weak!
24
Pour out your anger on them; let your indignation overtake them.
25
May their camps be left deserted; may no one be left alive in their tents.
26
They persecute those whom you have punished; they talk about the sufferings of those you have wounded.
27
Keep a record of all their sins; don't let them have any part in your salvation.
28
May their names be erased from the book of the living; may they not be included in the list of your people.
1 Thessalonians 2:15
who killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and persecuted us. How displeasing they are to God! How hostile they are to everyone!
1 Thessalonians 2:16
They even tried to stop us from preaching to the Gentiles the message that would bring them salvation. In this way they have brought to completion all the sins they have always committed. And now God's anger has at last come down on them!
