OET (OET-LV) But not like the transgression, thus also is the gift.
For/Because if by_the of_the one man transgression, the many died_off, by_much more the grace of_ the _god and the gift in grace, which is of_the one man, Yaʸsous chosen_one/messiah, to the many been_plentiful.
OET (OET-RV) But the gift is not like the disobedience, because if the disobedience of one man introduced death for many, God’s grace and the gift that comes from that grace is much more. That gift is the one man Yeshua Messiah who has been given to very many people.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
τὸ παράπτωμα & τὸ χάρισμα & τῷ τοῦ ἑνὸς παραπτώματι & ἡ χάρις τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ ἡ δωρεὰ ἐν χάριτι
the transgression & the gift & ˱by˲_the ˱of˲_the one_‹man› transgression & the grace ¬the ˱of˲_God and the gift in grace
If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of trespass, gracious gift, grace, and gift, you could express the same ideas with verbal forms. Alternate translation: “how Adam trespassed … what God graciously gave … when the one man trespassed … how gracious God is and what he graciously gave”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
οὐχ ὡς τὸ παράπτωμα, οὕτως καὶ τὸ χάρισμα
not like the transgression thus also_‹is› the gift
If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases. Alternate translation: “the gracious gift is not like the trespass”
Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases
γὰρ
for
For indicates that what follows this word explains what came before it. Here, it introduces an explanation of the difference between the trespass and the gracious gift. Use a connection word or other way to indicate that the second sentence of this verse explains the first one. Alternate translation: “Indeed,” or “You see,”
Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-condition-fact
εἰ
if
Paul is making a conditional statement that sounds hypothetical, but he is already convinced that the condition is true. He has concluded that the benefits of the gracious gift are superior to the consequences of the trespass. Use a natural form in your language for introducing a condition that the speaker believes is true. Alternate translation: “as”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
τῷ τοῦ ἑνὸς παραπτώματι
˱by˲_the ˱of˲_the one_‹man› transgression
Paul is using the possessive form to describe the trespass that was committed by the one man. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “by one man’s trespass” or “because one man trespassed”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
οἱ πολλοὶ & τοὺς πολλοὺς
the many & the many
Here Paul is using the adjective many as a noun in order to describe a large group of people. If your language does not use adjectives in the same way, you could translate this with a noun phrase, as in the UST.
Note 7 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases
πολλῷ μᾶλλον
˱by˲_much more
Here, how much more strongly emphasizes the difference between the results of the trespass of Adam and the grace of God that comes through Jesus Christ. Use a natural way in your language to express strong emphasis. Alternate translation: “even more certainly”
Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
ἡ χάρις τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ ἡ δωρεὰ ἐν χάριτι, τῇ τοῦ ἑνὸς ἀνθρώπου, Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, εἰς τοὺς πολλοὺς ἐπερίσσευσεν
the grace ¬the ˱of˲_God and the gift in grace which_‹is› ˱of˲_the one man Jesus Christ to the many abounded
If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these clauses. Alternate translation: “abounded to the many the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ”
Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
ἡ χάρις τοῦ Θεοῦ
the grace ¬the ˱of˲_God
Paul is using the possessive form to describe grace that comes from God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “God’s grace” or “the grace from God” or “how kind God is”
Note 10 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
τοῦ ἑνὸς ἀνθρώπου
˱of˲_the one_‹man› ¬the ˱of˲_the one man
Paul is using the possessive form to describe the grace that comes from the one man. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “from the one man” or “associated with the one man”
5:15 Paul uses the word many in contrast with one. Many does not always mean all, but it can include all people if the context suggests it. Clearly, the many who suffer death because of Adam includes everyone (see 5:12), but Paul makes it clear elsewhere that the many who receive the gift of forgiveness through Jesus Christ, sadly, does not include everyone (see 11:1-5).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
