In answer hereunto, the [Greek or Hebrew] of one as to the causality of Justification, is opposed unto the [Greek or Hebrew] of the other, as unto its causality unto, or of condemnation. [Greek or Hebrew], By the Righteousness of one. That is, the Righteousness that is pleadable [Greek or Hebrew] unto Justification. For that is [Greek or Hebrew] a Righteousness pleaded for Justification. By this, say our Translators, the free gift came upon all; repeating [Greek or Hebrew] from the foregoing Verse, as they had done [Greek or Hebrew] before on the other hand. The Syriac Translation renders the words without the aid of any supplement: Therefore as by the sin of one, condemnation was unto all men, so by the Righteousness of one, Justification unto life shall be unto all Men. And the sense of the words is so made plain without the supply of any other word into the Text. But whereas in the original the words are not [Greek or Hebrew], but [Greek or Hebrew], and so in the later clause, somewhat from his own foregoing words, is to be supplied to answer the intention of the Apostle. And this is [Greek or Hebrew] gratiosa donatio, the free grant of Righteousness; or [Greek or Hebrew] the free gift of Righteousness unto Justification. The Righteousness of one Christ Jesus, is freely granted unto all Believers, to the Justification of life. For the all Men here mentioned are described by, and limited unto them that receive the abundance of Grace, and the gift of Righteousness by Christ, Ver. 17.
