Romanos 5:18 Meaning and Commentary

Romans 5:18

Therefore as by the offence of one
Or by one offence, as before, the guilt of which is imputed to, and

[judgment came] upon all men to condemnation;
which word is used in a legal sense, and intends condemnation to eternal death, as appears from the antithesis in the text; for if "justification of life", means an adjudging to eternal life, as it certainly does, the judgment or guilt, which is unto condemnation, must design a condemnation to eternal death, the just wages of sin: and this sentence of condemnation comes upon all men, all the sons of Adam without exception, even upon the elect of God themselves; though it is not executed upon them, but on their surety, whereby they are delivered from it:

even so by the righteousness of one, [the free gift] came upon all
men to justification of life;
the righteousness of Christ being freely imputed without works, as it is to all the men that belong to the second Adam, to all his seed and offspring, is their justification of life, or what adjudges and entitles them to eternal life. The sentence of justification was conceived in the mind of God from eternity, when his elect were ordained unto eternal life, on the foot of his Son's righteousness; this passed on Christ at his resurrection from the dead, and on all his people as considered in him, when they, in consequence of it, were quickened together with him; and this passes upon the conscience of a sinner at believing, when he may, as he should, reckon himself alive unto God, and is what gives him a right and title to everlasting life and glory.

Romanos 5:18 In-Context

16 Tampoco sucede con el don como con lo que vino por medio de aquel que pec贸; porque ciertamente el juicio surgi贸 a causa de una transgresi贸n, resultando en condenaci贸n; pero la d谩diva surgi贸 a causa de muchas transgresiones resultando en justificaci贸n.
17 Porque si por la transgresi贸n de uno, por 茅ste rein贸 la muerte, mucho m谩s reinar谩n en vida por medio de uno, Jesucristo, los que reciben la abundancia de la gracia y del don de la justicia.
18 As铆 pues, tal como por una transgresi贸n result贸 la condenaci贸n de todos los hombres, as铆 tambi茅n por un acto de justicia result贸 la justificaci贸n de vida para todos los hombres.
19 Porque as铆 como por la desobediencia de un hombre los muchos fueron constituidos pecadores, as铆 tambi茅n por la obediencia de uno los muchos ser谩n constituidos justos.
20 Y la ley se introdujo para que abundara la transgresi贸n, pero donde el pecado abund贸, sobreabund贸 la gracia,
