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

Romans 5:20 Moreover law entered. Not the law, but law. The reference is not only to the law of Moses, but to all divine law, the law written in the hearts of the Gentiles. The effect of its entrance was that offenses abounded. Law was continually broken. The reference here is not to Adam's sin, but to the personal sins of each man. Grace did much more abound. The grace of the gospel offers a free pardon to all who have broken law if they will come to God through Christ.
