Paul quickly explains the comparison of Adam to Jesus by contrasting the effects of the two here in verse 15. Paul writes that the free gift is so much greater than the sin of Adam. We talk about that free gift.

Paul packs a lot into verse 14, including noting that Adam's transgression was unlike any other pre-Moses humans because Adam disobeyed a direct command from God. We talk about Adam's transgression and how Adam made a mark on humanity in a way that Jesus would later make a mark.

Paul supports his contention that all sinned by clarifying here in verse 13 that sin was in the world before the law, but that sin wasn't counted against the sinners.

Paul at this point realizes that he has just made a very bold claim: that we are to be so confident in our future judgment that we are to rejoice over it. He explains that confidence in the next ten verses, by examining the entrance of sin into our world through one man, Adam.

Paul concludes this grouping of verses by adding another thing to his tales of justification and reconciliation from prior verses: he adds rejoicing. Not only are we made right in our relationship with God, but we are to even rejoice in it.

Paul restates his point from verse nine here, but changes the word "justified" to "reconciled." We talk about what it means to be reconciled, and how Jesus called on us to be reconciled to those with whom we are at odds.

Paul follow up the famous verse eight with a technique where he compares a weighty thing with a light thing, in order to show that if God chose to die for us before we believed in Him (the weighty thing), how easy must it be to celebrate us at judgment day now that his wrath has been redirected (the light thing).

Paul writes one of the key verses in his letter to Christians in Rome here in verse eight. We focus in on how the verb "shows" is present tense, meaning God continues to show his love for us even today.

Paul inserts a verse here in verse seven about how humans judge morality, and how we might be willing to die for a good person, with the implication being that we would not be willing to die for a person we think of as bad. We talk about our moral code, and how God's love surpasses our humanly morals.

Paul expands on the depth of God's love for us for explaining that he sent Jesus to die not for the greatest of us or the strongest in faith, but for the ungodly.
