Pelagius — on Rom 5:16 (PELAGIUS'S COMMENTARY ON ROMANS)

“The effect of the gift is greater than that of the sin. From the sin of one righteous man came the judgment of death. Adam never came across all the righteousness which he destroyed, but Christ discharged the sins of many by his grace. Adam was only the model for sin, but Christ both forgave sins freely and gave an example of righteousness.”
