Romans 5:18

5:18 Consequently, ⁴  just as condemnation ⁵  for all people ⁶  came ⁷  through one transgression, ⁸  so too through the one righteous act ⁹  came righteousness leading to life ¹⁰  for all people.

[5:9]  ¹ tn Grk “having now been declared righteous.” The participle δικαιωθέντες (dikaiwqente") has been translated as a causal adverbial participle.

[5:9]  ² tn Or, according to BDF §219.3, “at the price of his blood.”

[5:9]  ³ tn Grk “the wrath,” referring to God’s wrath as v. 10 shows.

[5:18]  ⁴ tn There is a double connective here that cannot be easily preserved in English: “consequently therefore,” emphasizing the conclusion of what he has been arguing.

[5:18]  ⁵ tn Grk “[it is] unto condemnation for all people.”

[5:18]  ⁶ tn Here ἀνθρώπους (anqrwpou") has been translated as a generic (“people”) since both men and women are clearly intended in this context.

[5:18]  ⁷ tn There are no verbs in the Greek text of v. 18, forcing translators to supply phrases like “came through one transgression,” “resulted from one transgression,” etc.

[5:18]  ⁸ sn One transgression refers to the sin of Adam in Gen 3:1-24.

[5:18]  ⁹ sn The one righteous act refers to Jesus’ death on the cross.

[5:18]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “righteousness of life.”
