“And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.”
Again, the gift of God is not like the result of one man's sin: The judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation, but the gift followed many trespasses and brought justification. The judgment that flowed from one trespass led to condemnation. Yet the gift addresses not one sin but many trespasses and produces justification. The proportionality of grace to judgment is vastly asymmetrical—grace exceeds and overwhelms judgment.
