“Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.”
Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people, so also one act of righteousness resulted in justification and life for all people. The symmetry becomes perfect: one trespass produces condemnation for all; one righteous act—Christ's obedience unto death—produces justification and life for all. The scope is universal: all are implicated in Adam; all may be implicated in Christ.
