Romans 5:16

5:16 And the gift is not like the one who sinned. 1  For judgment, resulting from the one transgression, 2  led to condemnation, but 3  the gracious gift from the many failures 4  led to justification.

1 tn Grk “and not as through the one who sinned [is] the gift.”

2 tn The word “transgression” is not in the Greek text at this point, but has been supplied for clarity.

3 tn Greek emphasizes the contrast between these two clauses more than can be easily expressed in English.

4 tn Or “falls, trespasses,” the same word used in vv. 15, 17, 18, 20.
