• We have to do with God, and man as he is as a present thing. It is a question of sinful man; the Jew had no privilege here, he had nothing to boast of. He could not say, sin came in by us and by the law. It is man, sin, and grace that are in question. (“Romans 5:12-21” by J.N. Darby)

• Paul has been speaking about "sins" and God's deliverance from the just judgment of them. But now he shifts to speak of "sin" and God's deliverance from its power. (H.
