OET interlinear ROM 5:18

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ἄρα οὖν ὡς δι’ ἑνὸς παραπτώματος, εἰς πάντας ἀνθρώπους εἰς κατάκριμα, οὕτως καὶ δι’ ἑνὸς δικαιώματος, εἰς πάντας ἀνθρώπους εἰς δικαίωσιν ζωῆς

consequently therefore as by one transgression to all people to condemnation thus also by one just_act to all people for justification ˱of˲_life

Paul is leaving out some of the words that a sentence would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the context. Alternate translation: [So then, as one man trespassed and this trespass caused all men to become condemned, so also one man acted righteously and this act caused all men to become justified for living eternally]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

ἄρα οὖν

consequently therefore

So then indicates that what follows in 5:18–21 summarizes the ideas of 5:12–17. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a clearer expression. Alternate translation: [Finally] or [In summary]

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

by & by

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

(Occurrence -1) πάντας ἀνθρώπους

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἄρα οὖν ὡς διʼ ἑνὸς παραπτώματος εἰς πάντας ἀνθρώπους εἰς κατάκριμα οὕτως καὶ διʼ ἑνὸς δικαιώματος εἰς πάντας ἀνθρώπους εἰς δικαίωσιν ζωῆς)

Although the term men is masculine, Paul is using the word here in a generic sense that includes both men and women. See how your translated all men in 5:12.

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

δικαίωσιν ζωῆς

justification ˱of˲_life

Paul is using the possessive form to describe how justification relates to life. This could mean: (1) justification that leads to life. Alternate translation: [justification that brings eternal life] (2) justification that is life. Alternate translation: [justification, which is eternal life]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ζωῆς

˱of˲_life

Here, life refers to “eternal life.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [of eternal life] or [for living forever]
