Romans 5:19

Romans 5:19

17 For if by the one man’s¹ offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)

18 Therefore, as through¹ one man’s offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through ^aone Man’s righteous act the free gift came ^bto all men, resulting in justification of life.

19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by ^aone Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.

20 Moreover ^athe law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace ^babounded much more,

21 so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 5:19 For as by one man's disobedience. By Adam's disobedience, all disobeyed and were counted sinners. So by the obedience of one. By Jesus' obedience, all are counted obedient, and hence, righteous. That is, all inherited penalty for Adam's sin is blotted out for the whole race. All who have not personal sins are held to be justified. Hence all infants are sinless. The basis of infant baptism is removed. Baptism is for those who have personally sinned.
