Romans 5:15 But not as the offense, so also is the free gift. For if through the offense of one many be dead, much more the grace of God… 1. The offence originated with man, the free gift in the grace of God. 2. The offence operated necessarily by a just law, the gift is free through Jesus Christ. 3. The offence results in death, the free gift abounds unto everlasting life. (J. Lyth, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: 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. |
