Text: Romans 5:17-21 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.) 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.
19 For as by one man's disobedience
many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. 20
Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin
abounded, grace did much more abound: 21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so
might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our
Lord.
BY ADAM’S OFFENCE
Romans 5:17 For if by [of the, masculine] one man's [the] offence [the] death
reigned by [the] one; much more they [the ones] which receive [present active participle,
receiving] abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness [they] shall
reign [future active indicative]
in life (future life in the
kingdom of the heavens) by [the] one, Jesus Christ.)
THE
DEATH REIGNED
Romans 5:14 Nevertheless [the] death reigned from Adam to Moses, . (Death = lost dominion and honor)
ALL
THE MANY
Romans 5:18 Therefore as by the offence of one (Adam)
judgment came upon all men [masculine plural, (the many, see
5:15, 19)] to [eiv, leading to] condemnation [verdict]; even so
by the righteousness [equitable
deed] of one the free gift came upon all men [masculine
plural, (the many)] unto [leading
to] justification of life.
THE
MANY, MASCULINE PLURAL
Romans 5:15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift [carisma, grace gift]. For if through
the offence of one [the] many
[masculine, plural] be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift [dwrea, (agelasting life)] by grace, which is by one man,
Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto [the] many [masculine, plural].
ALSO
IN
Romans 5:19 For as by one man's disobedience [the]
many [masculine, plural] were
made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall [the] many [masculine, plural] be made
righteous.
THE
OBEDIENCE OF ONE
Romans 5:19 For as by one man's (Adam) disobedience [the] many were made sinners, so by the obedience [compliance, submission]
of one (Jesus Christ) shall [the]
many be made [future passive, appoint, render] righteous [just, (unchargeable)].
HIS
OBEDIENCE
Mark 14:33-36 And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be sore amazed, and
to be very heavy; 34 And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto [until] death [qanatov (not nekrov, physical death)]: tarry ye here,
and watch. 35 And he went forward a little, and fell on the
ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour [singular,
(not the day)] might pass from him.
36 And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this
cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.
CHRIST
JUSTIFIED THE MANY
Isaiah 53:10-11 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he
hath put him to grief (exceeding
sorrowful): when thou shalt make his soul
(not his body) an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he
shall prolong his days (as high priest), and the pleasure (will, none would perish, 2
Pet 3:9) of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. 11 He
shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by
his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify
many; for he shall bear (the consequences, as in Lam
5:7) their iniquities.
THE
CONSEQUENCES
Lamentations 5:7 Our fathers have sinned, and are not;
and we have borne (the
consequences, same word as bear) their
iniquities.
GRACE
ABOUNDED
Romans 5:20 Moreover the
law (moral law) entered, that
the offence (the sin, lawlessness) might abound. But where [the] sin
(the offence) abounded, grace
did much more abound:
THE
SIN
1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth [present active participle] [the] sin transgresseth [present active] also the law [lawlessness]: for [the] sin is the transgression of the law [lawlessness].
LITERAL
TRANSLATION
1 John 3:4 Every one the one doing [present active
participle, practices] the sin, also the lawlessness does [present
active (practices)]; and the sin is the lawlessness.
THE
LAW BROUGHT DEEPER KNOWLEDGE
Romans 3:20 . . for by the law is the knowledge [epignwsiv, upon knowledge
exact] of sin.
THE
MORAL LAW AND THE SIN
Romans 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law
sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known [the] sin, but by the law: for
I had not known lust, except the (moral) law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
WITHOUT
THE LAW
Romans 7:8 . . . For without the law sin was dead.
MAY
GRACE REIGN
Romans 5:21 [so] That [just] as [the] sin hath reigned unto [en, in] death [qanatov, (lose of
agelasting life)], even so might [the]
grace reign through [dia, by means of] righteousness (by obtaining mercy)
unto [eiv, leading to] eternal [agelasting] life by Jesus Christ our Lord (our high priest).
EXTENDED
HIS DAYS FOR GRACE
Hebrews 4:15-16 For we have not an high priest which cannot
be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points
tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
16 Let us therefore come boldly
unto the throne of grace, (grace must
reign) that we may obtain mercy (become just), and find grace to help in time of need.
THE
POWER OF CHRIST
2 Corinthians 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is
made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities,
that the power of Christ may rest
upon me.
BE STRONG IN HIS GRACE
2 Timothy 2:1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the
grace that is in Christ Jesus.
CONTINUE IN THE WORD OF HIS GRACE
Acts 20:32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and
to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an
inheritance among all them which are sanctified.
ESTABLISH THE HEART WITH GRACE
Hebrews 13:9 Be not carried about with divers and strange
doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with
grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied
therein.
GROW IN GRACE
2 Peter 3:18 But grow
[present active imperative, increase] in grace, and in
the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both
now and for ever. Amen.
