“Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:”
The law was added so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more. The law's paradoxical function: it was added to increase trespass—not to enable sin but to expose it, to make transgression unmistakable. Yet grace superabounds over the law's condemning power. This is the final word: grace overwhelms all else.
