Therefore, as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin; and so death passed unto all men, for that all sinned:—
COMPARISON AND CONTRAST BETWEEN ADAM AND CHRIST IN THEIR RELATION TO THE HUMAN FAMILY. (Rom 5:12-21) Wherefore--that is, Things being so; referring back to the whole preceding argument. as by one man--Adam. sin--considered here in its guilt, criminality, penal desert. entered into the world, and death by sin--as the penalty of sin.
Commenting on Romans 5:12-21
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: (10) From Adam, in whom all have sinned, both guiltiness and death (which is the punishment of the guiltiness) came upon all.
All our privileges flow from Christ's precious blood; His death for us is the spring-head of justification. He died for those without strength, entirely unable to help themselves, and worse still, for the ungodly, not merely helpless but guilty, deserving to perish, yet loved with a love that surpasses all human measure.
