Context of Romans 5:19
17For if by the offence of the one death reigned by the one, much rather shall those who receive the abundance of grace, and of the free gift of righteousness, reign in life by the one Jesus Christ:) 18so then as [it was] by one offence towards all men to condemnation, so by one righteousness towards all men for justification of life. For as indeed by the disobedience of the one man the many have been constituted sinners, so also by the obedience of the one the many will be constituted righteous. 20But law came in, in order that the offence might abound; but where sin abounded grace has overabounded, 21in order that, even as sin has reigned in [the power of] death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

He affirms that those who are sinners are condemned, and that the sufferings brought in on account of the sin of Adam, are introduced because many were made sinners…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 15-19Verses 15-19 Through one man's offence, all mankind are exposed to eternal condemnation.

Our Lord Himself represents even His death as His…Read the comment
