For as many as have sinned without the law, shall also perish without the law: and as many as have sinned under the law, shall be condemned by the law,

for tho' death reigned thro' the single offence of one, they who receive the most valuable favour, even the gift of righteousness, shall much more easily reign by the life of one, even Jesus Christ.

for as by one man's disobedience many receiv'd the punishment of sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many receive the reward of the righteous.

the law was introduc'd, that the greatness of the fall might fully appear; but the more sin display'd its enormity, the divine favour was so much the more transcendent.

knowing that Christ being raised from the dead, is to die no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
