Christ and the Many
Romans 5:16
And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation…


He gave His life a ransom for many (Matthew 20:28); His blood was shed for many (Matthew 26:28; Mark 14:24); He bare the sins of many (Isaiah 53:11, 12); by His knowledge He justifies many (Isaiah 53:11); He brings many sins to glory (Hebrews 2:10). The many are a multitude which no man can number (Revelation 7:9).

(T. Robinson, D. D.)
