Romans 5:16 And the gift is not like the result of that one man’s sin; for the judgment following the one transgression led (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) to condemnation, but the free gift following the many transgressions led (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) to justification.
Romans 5:18 Therefore, just as one man’s transgression brought (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) condemnation for (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) all so also one man’s righteous act brought (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) justification and life for (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) all
