Ro. 5:12‑14• 12De consiguiente, vino la reconciliación por uno, así como el pecado entró en el mundo por un hombre, y por el pecado la muerte, y la muerte así pasó á todos los hombres, pues que todos pecaron.
 13Porque hasta la ley, el pecado estaba en el mundo; pero no se imputa pecado no habiendo ley.
 14No obstante, reinó la muerte desde Adam hasta Moisés, aun en los que no pecaron á la manera de la rebelión de Adam; el cual es figura del que había de venir. (Ro. 5:12‑14)

Is. 53:10‑12• 10Con todo eso Jehová quiso quebrantarlo, sujetándole á padecimiento. Cuando hubiere puesto su vida en expiación por el pecado, verá linaje, vivirá por largos días, y la voluntad de Jehová será en su mano prosperada.
 11Del trabajo de su alma verá y será saciado; con su conocimiento justificará mi siervo justo á muchos, y él llevará las iniquidades de ellos.
 12Por tanto yo le daré parte con los grandes, y con los fuertes repartirá despojos; por cuanto derramó su vida hasta la muerte, y fué contado con los perversos, habiendo él llevado el pecado de muchos y orado por los transgresores. (Is. 53:10‑12)

Ap. 7:9‑17• 9Después de estas cosas miré, y he aquí una gran compañía, la cual ninguno podía contar, de todas gentes y linajes y pueblos y lenguas, que estaban delante del trono y en la presencia del Cordero, vestidos de ropas blancas, y palmas en sus manos;
 10Y clamaban en alta voz, diciendo: Salvación á nuestro Dios que está sentado sobre el trono, y al Cordero.
 11Y todos los ángeles estaban alrededor del trono, y de los ancianos y los cuatro animales; y postráronse sobre sus rostros delante del trono, y adoraron á Dios,
 12Diciendo: Amén: La bendición y la gloria y la sabiduría, y la acción de gracias y la honra y la potencia y la fortaleza, sean á nuestro Dios para siempre jamás. Amén.
 13Y respondió uno de los ancianos, diciéndome: Estos que están vestidos de ropas blancas, ¿quiénes son, y de dónde han venido?
 14Y yo le dije: Señor, tú lo sabes. Y él me dijo: Estos son los que han venido de grande tribulación, y han lavado sus ropas, y las han blanqueado en la sangre del Cordero.
 15Por esto están delante del trono de Dios, y le sirven día y noche en su templo: y el que está sentado en el trono tenderá su pabellón sobre ellos.

 17Porque el Cordero que está en medio del trono los pastoreará, y los guiará á fuentes vivas de aguas: y Dios limpiará toda lágrima de los ojos de ellos. (Ap. 7:9‑17)
• It is said “all,” when the scope of the action is spoken of; “the many,” when it is the definitive effect with regard to men; that is, the “many” who were in connection with him who accomplished the act. (“Romans 5:12-21” by J.N. Darby)
• Hence, in being "constituted righteous," those who believe do not become instantly righteous in a practical sense, but rather that God appoints them as righteous by placing them in Christ's race under Christ's headship. (In the Greek, the verb "constituted" is used in the future tense to indicate that it includes all future generations of believers in the race.) (“The Doctrine of DeliveranceFrom Sin: Romans 5:12-7:6” by B. Anstey)

For as indeed by the disobedience of the one man the many have been constituted sinners, so also by the obedience of the one the many will be constituted righteous.

W. Kelly Translation

For as by the disobedience of the one man the manya were constituted sinners, so also by the obedience of the one the many shall be constituted righteous.

WK Translation Notes

a
All men were not left in their ruin, nor were all, in result, delivered through Christ. Hence the change from "all" (ver. 18) to "the many," for it is mere ignorance to take them as equipollent. In certain circumstances they may mean the same persons, but the terms are invariably distinct in themselves. Thus, in verse 18, where "all" occurs, we have the universal aspect of the act, whether of Adam or of Christ; but in verse 19, where the positive application is treated of, we get "the many" who are in fact affected thereby.
