Romans 5:12 - 20
Hmmm. This one seems to go back and forth, if this, then that, because this because that...
As far as I can tell, Paul's pointing sin back to Adam and salvation back to Jesus, but there's still a reference to Jesus as the second Adam at the end of v 14 (Adam... a pattern of the things to come).
There seems to be quite a thrust on the significance of sin, and when we are considered guilty - somthing about no law.
Overwhelming this is the idea that all have sinned, and that through one ma we have all sinned, thus we are all tarnished.
Trumping that, but paralleling this (perhaps a reference to the second Adam) is the idea tha one righteous death pays for the sin of many.
One of those truths that's fundamental to our faith and is good to be reminded of. And it all fits tegether so well.
