L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 5:1-21

Blessings Attending Justification Now as to the means and assurance of present justification, every question has been answered, every doubt fully banished by simple, straightforward truth. Thus every obstacle cleared away, the apostle turns to the joyous work of giving the effects of this justification in its present manifold blessing. This he does in the first eleven verses of Romans 5:1-21. (Verse 12 introduces a new subject, dealing, not with justification from sins, but with the... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Romans 5:12-21

HUMANITY AND TWO ADAMS “Wherefore” leads back to chapter 3, where the apostle is referring to the sinful condition of all men. It was by one man that sin entered the world bringing physical death as a penalty, and that all have sinned is proven by the fact that all have paid that penalty (Romans 5:12 ). To be sure the law was not given to Moses till Sinai, but as “death reigned from Adam to Moses,” it is evident that there was a transgression of another law than that written on stone, for... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Romans 5:1-21

Rom 5:1-11 1. Therefore being justified by faith [justified therefore by faith], we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2. By whom also we have access [through whom also we have had our introduction] by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3. And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; 4. And patience, experience [approval]; and experience, hope: 5. And hope maketh not ashamed; because... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 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: (13) (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. (14) Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. (15) But not as the offense, so also is the free gift. For if through the offense of one many be... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Romans 5:20-21

Now the law entered in. Not that the law was designed for that end; but the word that, as in many other places, so here expresseth only the consequence that followed, when sinners occasionally became more guilty by the knowledge of the law, and the precepts given. St. John Chrysostom takes notice that it is not said the law was given, but only that it entered in, as it were by the by, and only for a certain time, till our happy redemption, reconciliation, and justification by Jesus Christ.... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Romans 5:20-21

20,21 By Christ and his righteousness, we have more and greater privileges than we lost by the offence of Adam. The moral law showed that many thoughts, tempers, words, and actions, were sinful, thus transgressions were multiplied. Not making sin to abound the more, but discovering the sinfulness of it, even as the letting in a clearer light into a room, discovers the dust and filth which were there before, but were not seen. The sin of Adam, and the effect of corruption in us, are the... read more

Frank Binford Hole

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Romans 5:1-99

Romans 5 WE MAY USE the words, “justified by faith,” in two senses. By simple faith in Christ. and in God who raised Him from the dead, we are justified, and this whether we have the happy assurance of it in our hearts or not. But then, in the second place, it is by faith that we know that we are justified. Not by feelings nor by visions or other subjective impressions, but by faith in God and in His Word. As the result of our justification we have peace with God. Observe the distinction... read more

Paul E. Kretzmann

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Romans 5:18-21

A summary of the argument: v. 18. Therefore, as by the offense of one, judgment came upon all men to condemnation, even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. v. 19. For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of One shall many be made righteous. v. 20. Moreover, the Law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound, v. 21. that as sin hath reigned unto... read more

SECOND DIVISIONSIN AND GRACE IN THEIR SECOND ANTITHESIS (AS IN THEIR SECOND POTENCY): ACCORDING TO THEIR NATURAL EFFECTS IN HUMAN NATURE, AND IN NATURE IN GENERAL. THE SINFUL CORRUPTION OF THE WORLD, PROCEEDING FROM ADAM, AND INHERITED IN COMMON BY ALL MEN, AND THE LIFE OF CHRIST AS THE INWARD LIVING PRINCIPLE OF THE NEW BIRTH TO NEW LIFE IN INDIVIDUAL BELIEVERS, IN ALL MANKIND, AND IN THE WHOLE CREATED WORLD.

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Romans 5:12-21

Death through Adam, Life through Christ Romans 5:12-21 This is the profoundest and most fundamental section of the whole Epistle. It contains an insight into the deep things of God, 1 Corinthians 2:10 . We must read it slowly and thoughtfully many times in order to catch its drift. In these comments we can only skim in the most superficial manner across the surface. We are here taught the unity of the race, not only in Adam, but in Christ. Adam’s sin has affected the standing of every man;... read more
