Romans 5:17

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Romans 5:15-21

Much More the Grace of God Romans 5:1-5 , Romans 5:15-21 INTRODUCTORY WORDS We have before us today portions of Romans for our study. The Epistle of Paul to the Romans carries with it one of God's supreme messages for saints. Three great facts stand before us: (1) The fact of sin, with its universality. (2) The fact of redemption, through the Calvary work of Christ, where grace is supreme. (3) The fact of the victorious life in Christ Jesus, through the Spirit. A fourth message that stands... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 5:1-21

Salvation To The Uttermost (5:1-8:39). The depths of our sin having been revealed in Romans 1:17 to Romans 3:23, and Jesus Christ’s activity, (His activity in bringing about our salvation through the cross by means of the reckoning to us of His righteousness by faith), having been made known in Romans 3:24 to Romans 4:25, Paul now sets about demonstrating the consequences of this for all true believers (Romans 5:1 to Romans 8:39). He wants us immediately to recognise that being ‘accounted as... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 5:12-21

Paul Now Describes Man’s Oneness With Adam In Judgment And Compares It With The Believer’s Oneness With Christ In Deliverance (5:12-21). This passage can be seen as summarising all that has gone before, whilst also introducing new concepts that lie ahead. It is transitional. Here Paul enters into the depths of the world’s sin, and of God’s provision for that sin through Christ, as dealt with in Romans 1:18 to Romans 4:25. But at the same time his words lead into what lies ahead as he considers... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 5:15-19

In Direct Contrast To Adam Who Introduced Sin and Death Jesus Christ Has Brought Into The World The Gift Of Righteousness And Life In Abundant Measure (5:15-19). Paul now provides us succinctly with a number of contrasts between Adam, the first man, and Jesus Christ, ‘the coming One’. Elsewhere he can describe Jesus as ‘the Second Man’ (1 Corinthians 15:47) and ‘the Last Adam’ (1 Corinthians 15:45). Adam brought to mankind gloom and death, Jesus Christ has brought to man joy and life. The... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 5:17

‘For if, by the trespass of the one, death reigned through the one, much more will they who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, even Jesus Christ.’ Having established that through the free gift of righteousness we can experience ‘justification’ (being accounted as righteous before God), Paul now declares that through it, and the grace of God, we can also triumph in life, and experience eternal life. Through the trespass of one death... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 5:12-21

Romans 5:12-Ecclesiastes : . The “ therefore” of Romans 5:12 covers Romans 1:16 to Romans 5:11: the working of sin and grace are traced up to their fountain-heads in Adam and Christ ( cf. 1 Corinthians 15:45-2 Corinthians :).— Adam (Heb. man) stands for humanity racially. Two opposing currents run through man’ s life, each with its personal source ( Romans 5:12-2 Chronicles :, Romans 5:18 f.); but with this broad correspondence, there are signal contrasts ( Romans 5:15-Esther :); grace... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Romans 5:17

Here he shows the difference in respect of the effects and consequents of their acts. If by means of one man and his one offence death had power over all mankind, then much more shall the grace and gift of righteousness, which is by Jesus Christ alone, obtain eternal life for all that have received abundant grace and mercy from him. read more

Joseph Exell

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Romans 5:12-21

CRITICAL NOTESRomans 5:12.—Adam the head of a race whose transgressions lead on to condemnation. Christ the ancestor of a seed whose faith and obedience culminate in eternal life. Rabbis spoke of a double death of the soul and of the body, and thought that but for Adam’s sin man would not have died, but only expired, the spirit being dismissed by the kiss of peace. The sin of all men was wrapped up in the one act of Adam’s sin, and developed afterwards in individual cases. Adam’s descendants... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Romans 5:17-21

Romans 5:17-21 The Chapter of the Five Kings. Where do we find these five kings? There is King Sin, for Sin reigned. There is King Death, for I read "Death reigned." There is King Grace, for Grace reigned. There is King Jesus, for we reign by One, Jesus Christ; and then, as a consequence, you have kingly saints, for "they which receive abundance of grace shall reign." I. King Sin. His laws are the lusts of man's own heart. One of the saddest things about him is that we can say all his subjects... read more
