ローマ人への手紙 6:23
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
注釈
Study Note
The contrasting parallelism — 'the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord' — employs commercial and military imagery (wages/opsonia) alongside the vocabulary of grace (charisma, gift). Death (thanatos) in Paul encompasses both physical mortality and what 5:12-21 calls spiritual death as separation from God — the full consequence of sin's reign. The contrast between 'wages' (earned) and 'gift' (unearned) is deliberate: humanity earns its fate while God's offer comes without merit. The verse functions as one of the clearest summaries of Pauline soteriology and has been foundational in evangelistic contexts across Christian history.
