But not as the offence, so 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, by one Man Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
The opposition is between [Greek or Hebrew] on the one hand, and [Greek or Hebrew] on the other; between which, a dissimilitude is asserted, not as unto their opposite effects of Death and Life, but only as unto the degrees of their efficacy, with respect unto those effects, [Greek or Hebrew], the offence, the fall, the sin, the transgression; that is, [Greek or Hebrew], the disobedience of one, Ver. 19. Hence the first sin of Adam, is generally called the fall, [Greek or Hebrew]. That which is opposed hereunto, is [Greek or Hebrew]; Donum, Donum gratuitum; Beneficium, id quod Deus gratificatur; that is, [Greek or Hebrew], as it is immediately explained. The grace of God, and the free gift by grace, through Jesus Christ. Wherefore, although this word, in the next verse, doth precisely signify the Righteousness of Christ, yet here it comprehends all the causes of our Justification, in opposition unto the fall of Adam, and the entrance of sin thereby.
