Romans 5:12

Διὰ τοῦτο ὥσπερ δι' ἑνὸς ἀνθρώπου ἡ ἁμαρτία εἰς τὸν κόσμον εἰσῆλθεν καὶ διὰ τῆς ἁμαρτίας ὁ θάνατος καὶ οὕτως εἰς πάντας ἀνθρώπους ὁ θάνατος διῆλθεν ἐφ' ᾧ πάντες ἥμαρτον·

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:

20
And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.
