Romans 5:16 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

The sentence was by one offence to Adam's condemnation — Occasioning the sentence of death to pass upon him, which, by consequence, overwhelmed his posterity. But the free gift is of many offences unto justification — Unto the purchasing it for all men, notwithstanding many offences.

Romans 5:16

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.
