Romans 5:20
Compare all
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 5:20

The law came in between - The offence and the free gift. That the offence might abound - That is, the consequence (not the design) of the law's coming in was, not the taking away of sin, but the increase of it. Yet where sin abounded, grace did much more abound - Not only in the remission of that sin which Adam brought on us, but of all our own; not only in remission of sins, but infusion of holiness; not only in deliverance from death, but admission to everlasting life, a far more noble and excellent life than that which we lost by Adam's fall.
