1.2 CONTRAST #2: DISOBEDIENCE/OBEDIENCE
2.1 Disobedience made many sinners
One man (Adam) | Disobedience | Many | Made sinners |
2.2 Obedience made many righteous
One man (Christ) | Obedience | Many | Made righteous |
1.3 CONTRAST #3: LAW/GRACE
2.1 Law made offense abound
2.2 Grace super abounded
2.3 The effects
Sin | (evidenced through law) | Reigned in death |
Grace | Through righteousness | Reigned to eternal life |
18 Therefore, as through one mans offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Mans righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life. 19 For as by one mans disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Mans obedience many will be made righteous. 20 Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more, 21 so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (NKJV)
