Context: Romans 5
12Wherefore, 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:
13(For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
14Nevertheless 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.
15But 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.
16And 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.

Commentary
Romans 5 is a powerful chapter that speaks to the power of faith and grace. Paul begins by reminding us that we have been justified by faith, and that this justification brings us peace with God. He then goes on to explain that this peace is made possible through the death of Jesus Christ, who died for our sins. This death brings us hope and assurance that we can be reconciled to God.
