Romans 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.

Ge 3:6-19; Isa 1:18; Isa 43:25; Isa 44:22; Lu 7:47-50; Ac 13:38,39; 1Co 6:9-11; Ga 3:10; 1Ti 1:13-16; Jas 2:10

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.
