This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Rom 5:21. Ἐν τῷ θανατῳ-ἐις ζωὴν, in death-unto life) The difference is here exemplified between the particles ἐν and ἐις. Death has its limits and boundary, whereas life is everlasting, and [by divine power] divinely extended. Death is not said to be eternal; whereas life is said to be eternal, ch. Rom 6:21, etc.-ἡ χάρις βασιλεύσῃ, that grace might reign) Grace therefore has had, as it were, no reign, that is, it has had a most brief reign before the fall. We may believe, that Adam sinned not long after that he was created.-Ἰησο͂υ, Jesus) Now no longer is Adam even mentioned: the mention of Christ alone prevails.
