Romans 5:20
Douay-Rheims
Now the law entered in, that sin might abound. And where sin abounded, grace did more abound.
Ambrose of Milan
Wherefore, seeing that wickedness had increased, that innocence had decayed, that there was no one that did good, no, not one; the Lord came in order to form anew, nay to augment, the grace of nature; that where sin had abounded, grace might much more abound.
