Context: Romans 5
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.
17For 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.)
18Therefore 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.
About Romans 5: The Results of Justification
Paul teaches that through faith in Jesus, people can have peace with God and eternal life.
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.
