5.16_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d the_o free-gift_n seem_v here_o to_o import_v pardon_n as_o if_o pardon_n and_o justification_n be_v all_o one_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v the_o apostle_n in_o this_o famous_a place_n set_v down_o a_o parallel_n between_o the_o two_o head_n adam_n and_o christ_n adam_n sin_n and_o christ_n righteousness_n adam_n sin_n make_v we_o sinner_n unto_o death_n

free-gift_n verse_n 16._o be_v not_o mean_v remission_n but_o christ_n righteousness_n this_o be_v clear_a upon_o a_o double_a account_n the_o one_o be_v this_o the_o free-gift_n be_v oppose_v to_o adam_n sin_n and_o that_o which_o in_o this_o parallel_n be_v oppose_v to_o adam_n sin_n must_v needs_o be_v christ_n righteousness_n this_o appear_v throughout_o the_o whole_a parallel_n in_o the_o 15_o &_o 16._o verse_n adam_n sin_n and_o the_o free-gift_n be_v oppose_v in_o the_o 18._o verse_n adam_n offence_n and_o christ_n righteousness_n be_v oppose_v in_o the_o 19_o verse_n adam_n disobedience_n and_o christ_n obedience_n be_v oppose_v hence_o it_o appear_v that_o what_o be_v the_o free-gift_n in_o the_o 15_o and_o 16._o verse_n be_v the_o righteousness_n or_o obedience_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o 18._o &_o 19_o verse_n neither_o indeed_o can_v the_o parallel_n stand_v if_o any_o other_o thing_n than_o christ_n righteousness_n shall_v be_v oppose_v to_o adam_n sin_n the_o

be_v omit_v in_o the_o 15_o 16_o 17._o verse_n the_o free-gift_n be_v mention_v but_o the_o righteousness_n or_o obedience_n of_o christ_n be_v omit_v in_o the_o 18_o and_o 19_o verse_n the_o righteousness_n and_o obedience_n of_o christ_n be_v mention_v but_o the_o free-gift_n be_v omit_v indeed_o in_o our_o translation_n we_o have_v the_o free-gift_n verse_n 18._o but_o not_o in_o the_o
