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

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]
