Verse 19 is similar: “For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.” Through the sin of Adam, everyone was made a sinner.
Through this verse, God wants to address the confusion about Adam bringing sin into the world. We must understand that in his time, there was no written law yet. It was just God commanded them not to eat the fruit from the tree God prohibited them.
Romans 5:19-21 In-Context
20 The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more, 21 so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Sin and death may have come into the world through the trespass of one man, but it was through the grace of one man that we have been given the gift of new life. Through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ we have been pardoned, our sins have been forgiven, and we have been made righteous as we stand before God.
In Romans 5, Paul says that we rejoice not only in the glory of God but also in our sufferings. The message is not that Paul and his readers rejoice because they are suffering but rather that they rejoice in the midst of suffering. Suffering does not produce our rejoicing or boasting; rather, it cannot squash them.
Bible Study Ideas and Commentary for Romans 5:1-11
We are justified with God through the death of Jesus. Being right with God brings us peace, grace, joy, and love. And above all, it means we no longer have to fear the wrath of God against sin. Our sin has been forgiven in Jesus Christ our Lord.
In describing the impact of Adam's disobedience in the previous verse, Paul wrote that "many were made sinners." By that, he means that all who were born after Adam were born into sin. By nature, they sinned.
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: (for until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
My friends, don't try to punish anyone who does wrong to you. Wait for God to punish them with his anger. In the Scriptures the Lord says, “I am the one who punishes; I will pay people back.”
Romans 5:9-10 shows us three things about how God saves us: He has set us free by justification; He has drawn us near in reconciliation; He is saving us forever by the life of Christ.
(Romans 5:17) Because of Adam's Sin, Death reigned. Those Who Receive Christ Reign in Life. Romans 5:16 is explains how Adam and Christ are not alike demonstrating that there is no comparison between the grace of God in Christ and the offense of Adam and its sinister consequences.
In Romans 5:12-21, it is explained by comparing Adam with Christ: Adam sinned and this was how death entered the world. However, it was not the law, but Christ who gave his life for this purpose eliminated what Adam did. Christ's death not only cancelled the harm caused by Adam's fall, but surpasses it by far.
With death defeated, those who are in Christ will live forever. Grace reigns through righteousness leading to eternal life. But this eternal life is found only through Jesus Christ our Lord. There is no other way to escape the reign of sin and death.
18Therefore 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. 19For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
The Law came in so that the transgression would increase; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, so that, as sin reigned in death, even so grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord (Romans 5:18-21). We are in Romans 5:18-21.
The Lord Righteously Saves. In Romans 9:19, Paul anticipates another question from his readers, then proceeds to dispel any fear or doubt they might have about God's justice in saving. God saves righteously: He is equitable, fair, and just.
Romans 12:19-21 NIV
Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord. On the contrary: “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.

Explanation and Commentary of Romans 12:19
Never do it. There is no situation in which the Christian is to seek revenge on another, no matter how vile the deed done to one or one's loved ones. God knows the corruption that will come upon a man or woman if they take God's place in this matter.
Previously, sin reigned in death. But in Jesus grace reigns. Grace is ruling through God's covenant faithfulness (righteousness) in the life of Jesus, and the result is eternal life (true life with God). Notice that sin is described again as a power.
Casting your anxiety on God means trusting him for handling this specific situation. If you believe that he cares (which is what the promise says), and believe that he is God, then your fears will be lifted. The Connection with Prayer.

Paul continues from Romans 2:21, chastising the competing Jewish “authorities,” who fancied themselves teachers of wisdom and excellent models of keeping the law, for breaking the very law they claim to represent. They use this law to judge others, but fail to apply it to themselves.
