The Gateway - OFFENSE (vv. 12-14)

Sin Enters by One

Mortality - Death spreads to all - not because OF Adam’s Sin but we each sin!

Without law sin is not imputed - that is not reckoned or layed to one’s charge (this word is important in chapter 6)

Nevertheless, Death reigned (even over those who had not sinned according to the likeness of the transgression of Adam (Sin CAN be and often IS different…)

The GIFT and the GRACE Contrasted(vv. 15-20)

Deviation from Truth CONTRASTED to GRACE and GIFT (v. 15)

Death of Many (thanks Adam)

Grace and Gift of Christ abound to Many

The Interlinear Literal Translation of the Greek New Testament Chapter 5

Αλλ ουχ ως το παραπτωμα ουτως και το χαρισμα ει γαρ τω του ενος παραπτωματι οι πολλοι απεθανον πολλω μαλλον η χαρις του Θεου και η δωρεα εν χαριτι τη του ενος ανθρωπου Ιησου Χριστου εις τους πολλους επερισσευσεν

v. 15 But not as the deviation from truth(offense) so also the free gift? For if by the deviation from truth (offence) of the one the many died, much more the grace of God and the gift in grace which is the one man Jesus Christ, to the many did abound...

Contrast of One Having Negated the Testimony and the GIFT IN GRACE leads to JUSTIFICATION (v. 16)

v. 16 And not as by the one having negated the testimony [be] the gift? For indeed judgment of one into condemnation but the free gift out of many deviations from truth (offenses) into/toward justification

Contrast Of One’ Man’s Offense leading to the Reign of Death vs. Abundance of Grace and the Gift of Righteousness leading to reigning in LIFE through the One - Jesus Christ (v. 17)

Contrast of Condemnation flowing from one man’s deviation from truth (offense) vs. One Man’s righteous Act Resulting in Justification of Life (v. 18)

v. 18 And so then as by one deviation from truth (offense) toward all mankind into condemnation, so also by one accomplished righteousness toward all men into justification of life

Contrast of One Act of Disobedience (Hearing Amiss) there was a coming forward of many sinners vs. One Man’s righteous Act constituting many Righteous (v. 19)

What Did God Do? Quietly Added the Law to Make deviation from the truth and negating the testimony Abound… Why? So GRACE would SUPER ABOUND and Reign through Righteousness into Eternal Life through Jesus Christ our LORD. (vv. 20-21)
