Dr. Richard L. Strauss

Purpose: To show that just as surely as Adam's sin brings death, Christ's accomplishment at the cross brings justification and life.
Some of you are--or were--great athletes. You never sat on the bench during a game. You played every quarter. But others of us--us, you notice how I worded that?--we know what it means to be on a team yet watch from the sidelines. It's not nearly as much fun. We would have rather been playing. But I can tell you this from experience, when your team wins, you're just as happy as the people who played. You jump up and down and scream right along with them, "We won! We won!" You're part of the team and you enjoy the benefits of being on the team.
That's even true in some individual sports, like auto racing, or bicycle racing, or boxing. One person is participating, but often a whole entourage of people are involved in his or her performance. Look toward a boxer's corner after a victory and see all the people jumping around with their hands in the air. They are part of his team. They helped him train. They advised him.

Therefore

just

Yet
death

who

But
the

For
if
many

much

Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sinning was not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come. But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man’s trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many. And the free gift is not like the result of that one man’s sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift following many trespasses brought justification. For if, because of one man’s trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will thos
