We see, then, that as one act of sin exposed the whole race of men to God’s judgment and condemnation, so one act of perfect righteousness present all men freely acquitted in the sight of God. |
So, as through one offence there resulted condemnation for all men, just so through one act of uprightness there resulted right standing involving life for all men. |
