Rom. 5:12‑14• 12On this account as by one man sin entered into the world, and by sin death, and thus death passed unto all men, for that all sinned:
 13(for until law sin was in [the] world, but no sin is put to account when there is no law;
 14but death reigned from Adam till Moses even over those that had not sinned in the likeness of Adam's transgression, who is a figure of the coming [one]. (Rom. 5:12‑14)

Rev. 7:9‑17• 9After these things I saw, and, behold, a great multitude, which no one could number, out of every nation and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
 10and they cry with a loud voice, saying, The salvation to our God that sitteth on the throne and to the Lamb.
 11And all the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell before the throne upon their faces, and worshipped God,
 12saying, Amen: The blessing and the glory and the wisdom and the thanksgiving and the honour and the power and the strength to our God unto the ages of the ages. [Amen.]
 13And one of the elders answered, saying to me, These that are clothed with white robes, who are they, and whence came they?
 14And I said to him, My lord, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they that come out of the great tribulation, and they washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
 15Therefore are they before the throne of God and serve him day and night in his temple; and he that sitteth on the throne shall tabernacle over them.
 16They shall hunger no more neither thirst any more nor in any wise shall the sun fall upon them nor any heat.
 17For the Lamb that is in the midst of the throne shall tend them and shall lead them to fountains of waters of life, and God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes. (Rev. 7:9‑17)
• It is said “all,” when the scope of the action is spoken of; “the many,” when it is the definitive effect with regard to men; that is, the “many” who were in connection with him who accomplished the act. (“Romans 5:12-21” by J.N. Darby)
• Hence, in being "constituted righteous," those who believe do not become instantly righteous in a practical sense, but rather that God appoints them as righteous by placing them in Christ's race under Christ's headship. (In the Greek, the verb "constituted" is used in the future tense to indicate that it includes all future generations of believers in the race.) (“The Doctrine of DeliveranceFrom Sin: Romans 5:12-7:6” by B. Anstey)

WK Translation Notes

a
All men were not left in their ruin, nor were all, in result, delivered through Christ. Hence the change from "all" (ver. 18) to "the many," for it is mere ignorance to take them as equipollent. In certain circumstances they may mean the same persons, but the terms are invariably distinct in themselves. Thus, in verse 18, where "all" occurs, we have the universal aspect of the act, whether of Adam or of Christ; but in verse 19, where the positive application is treated of, we get "the many" who are in fact affected thereby.
