Romans 5:21

Verse 21. That as sin hath reigned. See Barnes "Ro 5:14". Unto death. Producing or causing death. Even so. In like manner, also. The provisions of redemption are in themselves ample to meet all the ruins of the fall. Might grace reign. Might mercy be triumphant. See Joh 1:17, "Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ." Through righteousness. Through, or by means of God's plan of justification. See Barnes "Ro 1:17". Unto eternal life. This stands opposed to "death" in the former part of the verse, and shows that there the apostle had reference to eternal death. The result of God's plan of justification shall be to produce eternal life.
