{But not as the trespass} (all' ouch h(9373)). It is more
contrast than parallel: "the trespass" (	o parapt(936d)a, the slip,
fall to one side) over against the free gift (	o charisma, of
grace charis). {Much more} (poll(9369) mallon). Another _a
fortiori_ argument. Why so? As a God of love he delights {much
more} in showing mercy and pardon than in giving just punishment
(Lightfoot). The gift surpasses the sin. It is not necessary to
Paul's argument to make "the many" in each case correspond, one
relates to Adam, the other to Christ.
