Gn. 3:6‑19• 6Y vió la mujer que el árbol era bueno para comer, y que era agradable á los ojos, y árbol codiciable para alcanzar la sabiduría; y tomó de su fruto, y comió; y dió también á su marido, el cual comió así como ella.
 7Y fueron abiertos los ojos de entrambos, y conocieron que estaban desnudos: entonces cosieron hojas de higuera, y se hicieron delantales.
 8Y oyeron la voz de Jehová Dios que se paseaba en el huerto al aire del día: y escondióse el hombre y su mujer de la presencia de Jehová Dios entre los árboles del huerto.
 9Y llamó Jehová Dios al hombre, y le dijo: ¿Dónde estás tú?
 10Y él respondió: Oí tu voz en el huerto, y tuve miedo, porque estaba desnudo; y escondíme.
 11Y díjole: ¿Quién te enseñó que estabas desnudo? ¿Has comido del árbol de que yo te mandé no comieses?
 12Y el hombre respondió: La mujer que me diste por compañera me dió del árbol, y yo comí.
 13Entonces Jehová Dios dijo á la mujer: ¿Qué es lo que has hecho? Y dijo la mujer: La serpiente me engañó, y comí.
 14Y Jehová Dios dijo á la serpiente: Por cuanto esto hiciste, maldita serás entre todas las bestias y entre todos los animales del campo; sobre tu pecho andarás, y polvo comerás todos los días de tu vida:
 15Y enemistad pondré entre ti y la mujer, y entre tu simiente y la simiente suya; ésta te herirá en la cabeza, y tú le herirás en el calcañar.
 16A la mujer dijo: Multiplicaré en gran manera tus dolores y tus preñeces; con dolor parirás los hijos; y á tu marido será tu deseo, y él se enseñoreará de ti.
 17Y al hombre dijo: Por cuanto obedeciste á la voz de tu mujer, y comiste del árbol de que te mandé diciendo, No comerás de él; maldita será la tierra por amor de ti; con dolor comerás de ella todos los días de tu vida;
 18Espinos y cardos te producirá, y comerás hierba del campo;
 19En el sudor de tu rostro comerás el pan hasta que vuelvas á la tierra; porque de ella fuiste tomado: pues polvo eres, y al polvo serás tornado. (Gn. 3:6‑19)

JND Translation Notes

h
Or "And not as by one that sinned [is] the gift." I would add that I have translated the Greek words, dorema as "gift," charisma as "act of favour," and dorea as "free gift." This will distinguish them.
i
That is, had its foundation in, was grounded on, one single thing or act.
k
Dikaioma; or "judicial righteousness." Here the Greek is more exact than English perhaps allows. It is the state of accomplished subsisting righteousness before God, in which justification places us. The word dikaiosis, "justification," in ver. 18 and ch. 4.25 is the act of justifying. In English we must use justification for both. I cannot say "righteousness"; that might be practical. In ch. 4.25 the doing of it was in view, "for our justifying"; not, as some read, "because we are justified," which could only be said in connection with faith, whereas "for our justifying" is the effect future to the rising again.

And [shall] not, as by one having sinned, [be] the gift? For the judgment [was] of one unto condemnation, but the free gift [was] of many offences unto justification.
