Romans 5:10 - Forerunner Commentary

Romans 5:10

8 But ^aGod demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

9 Much more then, having now been justified ^aby His blood, we shall be saved ^bfrom wrath through Him.

10 For ^aif when we were enemies ^bwe were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved ^cby His life.

11 And not only that, but we also ^arejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

Death in Adam, Life in Christ

12 Therefore, just as ^athrough one man sin entered the world, and ^bdeath through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned—

13 (For until the law sin was in the world, but ^asin is not imputed when there is no law.

14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned according to the likeness of the transgression of Adam, ^awho is a type of Him who was to come.

15 But the free gift is not like the¹ offense. For if by the one man’s offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded ^ato many.

16 And the gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned. For the judgment which came from one offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift which came from many¹ offenses resulted in justification.

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,
