King James Bible - Romans 5:16

And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.

World English Bible

The gift is not as through one who sinned: for the judgment came by one to condemnation, but the free gift came of many trespasses to justification.

Douay-Rheims - Romans 5:16

And not as it was by one sin, so also is the gift. For judgment indeed was by one unto condemnation; but grace is of many offences, unto justification.

Webster's Bible Translation

And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift. For the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offenses to justification.

VERSE (16) - Ge 3:6-19 Ga 3:10 Jas 2:10

SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:16

Ni tampoco de la manera que por un pecado, así tambin el don; porque el juicio a la verdad vino de un pecado para condenacin, mas la gracia vino de muchos delitos para justificacin.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Romans 5:16

Verse 16. And not as it was by one that sinned] That is, the judicial act that followed Adam's sin (the sentence of death pronounced upon him, and his expulsion from paradise) took its rise from his one offense alone, and terminated in condemnation; but the free gift of God in Christ takes its rise also from the many offenses which men, in a long course of life, have personally committed; and the object of this grace is to justify them freely, and bring them to eternal life.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 16. And not as [it was] by one that sinned, [so is] the gift , etc..] The apostle goes on with the dissimilitude between the effects of Adam's sin, and Christ's righteousness: for the judgment was by one to condemnation ; by judgment is meant, not the judgment of God, or the judiciary sentence pronounced by God on Adam and his posterity for sin; but the guilt of the one man's sin, which is imputed to all men to condemnation, on account of which the sentence of condemnation passed on all men; the law transgressed, became a ministration of condemnation to them: but the free gift is of many offences unto justification ; the righteousness of Christ, which stands opposed to the guilt of Adam's sin, being imputed to all his offspring, is to the justification of them; and that not only from the guilt of that particular offence, but from many other offences, even all their actual sins and transgressions, of every sort; which is another instance of the exuberance, or abounding of the grace of God, in the righteousness of Christ, not only over the sin of the one man, but also over the sins of many, even all the elect of God; for the last clause may be also thus rendered, the free gift is of the offences of many, unto justification.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 15-19 - Through one man's offence, all mankind are exposed to eterna condemnation. But the grace and mercy of God, and the free gift of righteousness and salvation, are through Jesus Christ, as man: yet the Lord from heaven has brought the multitude of believers into a mor safe and exalted state than that from which they fell in Adam. Thi free gift did not place them anew in a state of trial, but fixed the in a state of justification, as Adam would have been placed, had he stood. Notwithstanding the differences, there is a striking similarity As by the offence of one, sin and death prevailed to the condemnatio of all men, so by the righteousness of one, grace prevailed to the justification of all related to Christ by faith. Through the grace of God, the gift by grace has abounded to many through Christ; ye multitudes choose to remain under the dominion of sin and death, rathe than to apply for the blessings of the reign of grace. But Christ wil in nowise cast out any who are willing to come to him.

Vincent's NT Word Studies

16. That sinned (amarthsantov). The better supported reading. Some MSS. and versions read aJmarthmatov transgression.

Of one. Some explain, one man, from the preceding (one) that sinned. Others, one trespass, from ver. 17.

The judgment (krima). Judicial sentence. Compare 1 Cor. vi. 7; xi. 29. See on 2 Pet. ii. 3.

Condemnation (katakrima). See on shall be damned, Mark xvi. 16. A condemnatory sentence.

Justification (dikaiwma). Not the subjective state of justification, but a righteous act or deed. Apoc. xix. 8; see on ver. 18.

The word is sometimes rendered orinance, Heb. ix. 1, 10; an appointment of God having the force of law. So Rom. i. 32, where Rev. gives ordinance for judgment, and ii. 26, ordinances for righteousness.

Robertson's NT Word Studies

5:16 {Through one that sinned} (di' henos hamartsantos). "Through one having sinned." That is Adam. Another contrast, difference in source (ek). {Of one} (ex henos). Supply parapt"matos, Adam's one transgression. {Of many trespasses} (ek pollwn paraptwmatwn). The gift by Christ grew out of manifold sins by Adam's progeny. {Justification} (dikai"ma). Act of righteousness, result, ordinance (#1:32; 2:26; 8:4), righteous deed (#5:18), verdict as here (acquittal).
