1 Being justified by faith, we have peace with God;
2 and joy in our hope;
8 that since we were reconciled by his blood, when we were enemies;
10 we shall much more be saved, being reconciled.
12 As sin and death came by Adam;
17 so much more righteousness and life by Jesus Christ.
20 Where sin abounded, grace did superabound.

5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

in that. Isa 53:6 1Pe 3:18 1Jo 3:16 4:9,10

9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

we shall. 10 1:18 8:1,30 Joh 5:24 1Th 1:10

10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

but we. 2:17 3:29,30 1Sa 2:1 Ps 32:11 33:1 43:4 104:34 149:2 Isa 61:10 Hab 3:17,18 Lu 1:46 Ga 4:9 5:22 Php 3:1,3 4:4 1Pe 1:8

atonement. or, reconciliation. 10 2Co 5:18,19

12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

as by. 19 Ge 3:6

and death. 6:23 Ge 2:17 3:19,22-24 Eze 18:4 1Co 15:21 Jas 1:15 Re 20:14,15

for that. or, in whom. all. 3:23 Jas 3:2 1Jo 1:8-10

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

until. Ge 4:7-11 6:5,6,11 8:21 13:13 18:20 19:4,32,36 38:7,10

but sin. 4:15 1Co 15:56 1Jo 3:4,14

14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.

death. 17,21 Ge 4:8 5:5-31 7:22 19:25 Ex 1:6 Heb 9:27

even. 8:20,22 Ex 1:22 12:29,30 Jon 4:11

who is the figure. Or 'type (pattern, or resemblance, [tupos,]) of him who was to come,' i.e., THE MESSIAH. Mr. Baxter remarks, It is indeed interesting to compare, on Scripture authority, Adam as the root of sin and death to all, with CHRIST, who is to all true Christians the root of holiness and life.

15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

But not. 16,17,20 Isa 55:8,9 Joh 3:16 4:10

many. 12,18 Da 12:2 Mt 20:28 26:28

much. Eph 2:8

and the gift. 6:23 2Co 9:15 Heb 2:9 1Jo 4:9,10 5:11

hath. 20 Isa 53:11 55:7 1Jo 2:2 Re 7:9,10,14-17

16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.

for the. Ge 3:6-19 Ga 3:10 Jas 2:10

but the free. Isa 1:18 43:25 44:22 Lu 7:47-50 Ac 13:38,39 1Co 6:9-11 1Ti 1:13-16

17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)

For if. 12 Ge 3:6,19 1Co 15:21,22,49

by one man's offence. or, by one offence. abundance. 20 Joh 10:10 1Ti 1:14

gift. 6:23 Isa 61:10 Php 3:9

shall reign. 8:39 Mt 25:34 1Co 4:8 2Ti 2:12 Jas 2:5 1Pe 2:9 Re 1:6 3:21 Re 5:9,10 20:4,6 22:5

18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.

the offence. or, one offence. upon. 12,15,19 3:19,20

the righteousness. or, one righteousness. 3:21,22 2Pe 1:1

all men. Joh 1:7 3:26 12:32 Ac 13:39 1Co 15:22 1Ti 2:4-6 Heb 2:9 1Jo 2:20

19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

as by one. 12-14

so by. Isa 53:10-12 Da 9:24 2Co 5:21 Eph 1:6 Re 7:9-17

20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:

the law. 3:19,20 4:15 6:14 7:5-13 Joh 15:22 2Co 3:7-9 Ga 3:19-25

But. 6:1 2Ch 33:9-13 Ps 25:11 Isa 1:18 43:24,25 Jer 3:8-14 Eze 16:52,60-63 36:25-32 Mic 7:18,19 Mt 9:13 Lu 7:47 23:39-43 Joh 10:10 1Co 6:9-11 Eph 1:6-8 2:1-5 1Ti 1:13-16 Tit 3:3-7

21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

That. 14 6:12,14,16
