I. ADAM. Through Him we are all —

1. Subject to suffering, sorrow, and death.

2. Debarred from entrance into Paradise.

3. Kept from eternal happiness.

II. CHRIST. By Him —

1. Our sins are atoned for.

2. We are entirely freed from guilt.

3. Eternal life is granted to us.

4. Immortal happiness is our portion.

(J. H. Tarson.)

KJV: 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:

WEB: Therefore, as sin entered into the world through one man, and death through sin; and so death passed to all men, because all sinned.
