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.

Here again we have "the one" (tou enov) with both Adam and Christ, but "disobedience" (parakohv, for which see II Corinthians 10:6) contrasted with "obedience" (upakohv), the same verb kaqisthmi, old verb, to set down, to render, to constitute (katestaqhsan, first aorist passive indicative, katastaqhsontai, future passive), and "the many" (oi polloi) in both cases (but with different meaning as with "all men" above).
