Study Note

'That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.' The personification of Sin and Grace as rival monarchs — one ruling unto death, the other unto life — is Paul's most vivid summary of his Adam-Christ typology developed in Romans 5:12-21. The escalation is deliberate: where sin 'reigned,' grace 'super-abounded' (verse 20); where sin produced death, grace produces eternal life. John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress and countless redemption narratives in Christian literature draw on exactly this structure — death's reign overthrown by grace's triumph.
