The law came along to multiply the trespass. But where sin multiplied, grace multiplied even more, so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace will reign through righteousness, resulting in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
But then Law came in, [only] to expand and increase the trespass [making it more apparent and exciting opposition]. But where sin increased and abounded, grace (God's unmerited favor) has surpassed it and increased the more and superabounded,
So that, [just] as sin has reigned in death, [so] grace (His unearned and undeserved favor) might reign also through righteousness (right standing with God) which issues in eternal life through Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) our Lord.

Lord, Your favor is unearned and undeserved, which makes it ever so much more... GLORIOUS GRACE!!! One drop at a time or one splash... how beautiful that grace abounds and surpasses that of our sins. Thank You Jesus Christ. You are the Anointed One! The Most Holy One... the Perfect Atonement and Your mercy abounds in Your Grace! I'm forever thankful... for You! I also give thanks for my sweet sister Karen and her creativity with chalk.
Multiply Your favor over Karen and her household with many blessings and so much LOVE to cover them completely so anything else is dim in comparison and easily forgotten or diminished.
