Romans 5:20
Douay-Rheims
Now the law entered in, that sin might abound. And where sin abounded, grace did more abound.
Augustine of Hippo
Grace means that good works are now performed by those who had earlier done evil; it does not make them continue in evil in the belief that good will be given to them in return.
