Romans 5:18
_ _ Therefore — now at length resuming the unfinished comparison of Romans 5:12, in order to give formally the concluding member of it, which had been done once and again substantially, in the intermediate verses.
_ _ as by the offence of one judgment came — or, more simply, “it came.”
_ _ upon all men to condenmation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came — rather, “it came.”
_ _ upon all men to justification of life — (So Calvin, Bengel, Olshausen, Tholuck, Hodge, Philippi). But better, as we judge: “As through one offense it [came] upon all men to condemnation; even so through one righteousness [it came] upon all men to justification of life” — (So Beza, Grotius, Ferme, Meyer, De Wette, Alford, Revised Version). In this case, the apostle, resuming the statement of Romans 5:12, expresses it in a more concentrated and vivid form — suggested no doubt by the expression in Romans 5:16, “through one offense,” representing Christ’s whole work, considered as the ground of our justification, as “ONE RIGHTEOUSNESS.” (Some would render the peculiar word here employed, “one righteous act” [Alford, etc.]; understanding by it Christ’s death as the one redeeming act which reversed the one undoing act of Adam. But this is to limit the apostle’s idea too much; for as the same word is properly rendered “righteousness” in Romans 8:4, where it means “the righteousness of the law as fulfilled by us who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit,” so here it denotes Christ’s whole “obedience unto death,” considered as the one meritorious ground of the reversal of the condemnation which came by Adam. But on this, and on the expression, “all men,” see on Romans 5:19. The expression “justification of life,” is a vivid combination of two ideas already expatiated upon, meaning “justification entitling to and issuing in the rightful possession and enjoyment of life”). |
Romans 5:18
Justification of life — Is that sentence of God, by which a sinner under sentence of death is adjudged to life. |
Romans 5:18
(17) Therefore as by the offence of one [judgment came] upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one [the free gift came] upon all men unto (x) justification of life.
(17) Therefore, to be short, as by one man's offence the guiltiness came on all men to make them subject to death, so on the opposite side, the righteousness of Christ, which by God's mercy is imputed to all believers, justifies them, that they may become partakers of everlasting life.
(x) Not only because our sins are forgiven us, but also because the righteousness of Christ is imputed to us. |
- the offence:
- or, one offence

- upon:
Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
Romans 5:15 But not as the offence, so also [is] the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, [which is] by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
Romans 5:19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
Romans 3:19-20 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. ... Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law [is] the knowledge of sin.
|
- the righteousness:
- or, one righteousness,
Romans 3:21-22 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; ... Even the righteousness of God [which is] by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
2 Peter 1:1 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:

- all men:

John 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all [men] unto me.
Acts 13:39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
