Commentary on Psalm 25:8-14

(Read Psalm 25:8-14)

We are all sinners; and Christ came into the world to save sinners, to teach sinners, to call sinners to repentance. We value a promise by the character of him that makes it; we therefore depend upon God's promises. All the paths of the Lord, that is, all his promises and all his providences, are mercy and truth. In all God's dealings his people may see his mercy displayed, and his word fulfilled, whatever afflictions they are now exercised with. All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth; and so it will appear when they come to their journey's end. Those that are humble, that distrust themselves, and desire to be taught and to follow Divine guidance, these he will guide in judgment, that is, by the rule of the written word, to find rest for their souls in the Saviour. Even when the body is sick, and in pain, the soul may be at ease in God.

19 For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.

Other Translations of Romans 5:19

King James Version

19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

English Standard Version

19 For as by the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous.

The Message

19 One man said no to God and put many people in the wrong; one man said yes to God and put many in the right.

New King James Version

19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man's obedience many will be made righteous.

New Living Translation

19 Because one person disobeyed God, many became sinners. But because one other person obeyed God, many will be made righteous.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Romans 5:19

Commentary on Romans 5:15-19

(Read Romans 5:15-19)

Through one man's offence, all mankind are exposed to eternal condemnation. But the grace and mercy of God, and the free gift of righteousness and salvation, are through Jesus Christ, as man: yet the Lord from heaven has brought the multitude of believers into a more safe and exalted state than that from which they fell in Adam. This free gift did not place them anew in a state of trial, but fixed them in a state of justification, as Adam would have been placed, had he stood. Notwithstanding the differences, there is a striking similarity. As by the offence of one, sin and death prevailed to the condemnation of all men, so by the righteousness of one, grace prevailed to the justification of all related to Christ by faith. Through the grace of God, the gift by grace has abounded to many through Christ; yet multitudes choose to remain under the dominion of sin and death, rather than to apply for the blessings of the reign of grace. But Christ will in nowise cast out any who are willing to come to him.
