John Chrysostom, on Rom 5:18

John Chrysostom · A.D. 347–407
Rom 5:18 · Douay-Rheims
“Therefore, as by the offence of one, unto all men to condemnation; so also by the justice of one, unto all men to justification of life.”
On this verse:
“And he insists again upon it, showing that the second was greater than the first, he wants again here also further confirmation of these. For, before, he had said that if one man's sin slew all, much more will the grace of One have the power to save. After that he shows that it was not that sin only that was done away by the grace, but all the rest too, and that it was not that the sins were done away only, but that righteousness was given. And Christ did not merely do the same amount of good that Adam did of harm, but far more and greater good.”
