And recollect also, that as sin is the sad inheritance entailed upon our whole nature from the first wretched transgressor; so punishment is also connected with it. Romans 5:12.

Precious Jesus! how much more hath the grace of God, and the gift by grace which is by thee, abounded unto many. Romans 5:15-17.
