Romans5:17
17 For if by one mans offence, death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace, and of the gift of righteousness, shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ .
Here he shews the difference in respect of the Effects and Consequents of their Acts. If by means of one man and his one offence death had power over all mankind, then much more shall the grace and gift of Righteousness, which is by Jesus Christ alone, obtain eternal life for all that have received abundant Grace and Mercy from him.
Marginal references: Or, by one offence.
