This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

That sinned (ἁμαρτήσαντος)

The better supported reading. Some MSS. and versions read ἁμαρτήματος transgression.

Of one

Some explain, one man, from the preceding (one) that sinned. Others, one trespass, from Rom 5:17.

The judgment (κρῖμα)

Judicial sentence. Compare 1Co 6:7; 1Co 11:29. See on 2Pe 2:3.

Condemnation (κατάκριμα)

See on shall be damned, Mar 16:16. A condemnatory sentence.

Justification (δικαίωμα)

Not the subjective state of justification, but a righteous act or deed. Rev 19:8; see on Rom 5:18.

The word is sometimes rendered ordinance, Heb 9:1, Heb 9:10; an appointment of God having the force of law. So Rom 1:32, where Rev. gives ordinance for judgment, and Rom 2:26, ordinances for righteousness.
