When a Christian faithfully endures trials, he realizes that he has God’s approval.

passage at <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070722/12/0" data-bid="13-1" class="b">2Co 5:18, 19</a>, has the basic meaning “to change; to exchange.” It came to mean “to change from hostility to a friendly relationship.” As used of man’s relationship with God, it means to bring back into harmony or to cause to be friendly again. Paul used this verb when speaking of a woman’s being <em>“reconciled with</em> her husband” from whom she was separated. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070722/13/0" data-bid="14-1" class="b">1Co 7:11</a>) The related verb <em>di·al·lasʹso·mai</em> appears at <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070722/14/0" data-bid="15-1" class="b">Mt 5:24</a> in Jesus’ instructions to “make . . . peace with your brother” before presenting an offering on the altar. (See <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070722/0/0">study note on Mt 5:24</a>.) Mankind needs to be reconciled to God because the first man, Adam, was disobedient, and he passed sin and imperfection on to all his descendants. As a result, mankind is in a state of alienation from God; they are at enmity with God, whose standards do not allow for his condoning wrongdoing.—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070722/15/0" data-bid="16-1" class="b">Ro 5:12;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070722/15/1" data-bid="16-2" class="b"> 8:7, 8</a>.</p> </span></li></ul></div><div class="group marginal"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="icon"></span></span><span class="icon"></span><h4 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Marginal References</span></h4></div><ul class="content"><li class="item collapsible marginal marginalExpander collapsed" data-src="/en/wol/marginalreference/r1/lp-e/nwtsty/45/5/157" data-extract-id="verseMarginal-158"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="scalableui">+</span></span><span class="icon"></span><span class="marginal title"><span class="scalableui">2Co 5:18; Col 1:21, 22</span></span></div><div class="content"><div data-extract-target-id="verseMarginal-158" class="loading hidden"><span class="icon"></span></div><div data-extract-target-id="verseMarginal-158" class="extract"></div></div></li></ul></div><div class="group index collapsible collapsed"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="icon"></span></span><span class="icon"></span><h4 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Indexes</span></h4></div><ul class="content"><li class="item ref-dx" data-extract-id=""><div class="subtitle">Publications Index</div><span class="scalableui"><p id="p102" data-pid="102" class="sx"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020045/100/0">w79 4/15 15;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020045/100/2"> g78 9/8 28;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020045/100/4"> w65 207;</a><span class="ni"> im 399;</span><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020045/100/6"> w53 725;</a><span class="ni"> w39 153;</span><span class="ni"> s 192</span></p> <p id="p103" data-pid="103" class="sx"></p> </span></li></ul></div></div><div class="section" data-key="45-5-11" data-section-citation="045005011045005011"><h3 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Romans 5:11</span></h3><div class="group marginal"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="icon"></span></span><span class="icon"></span><h4 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Marginal References</span></h4></div><ul class="content"><li class="item collapsible marginal marginalExpander collapsed" data-src="/en/wol/marginalreference/r1/lp-e/nwtsty/45/5/158" data-extract-id="verseMarginal-159"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="scalableui">+</span></span><span class="icon"></span><span class="marginal title"><span class="scalableui">2Co 5:19</span></span></div><div class="content"><div data-extract-target-id="verseMarginal-159" class="loading hidden"><span class="icon"></span></div><div data-extract-target-id="verseMarginal-159" class="extract"></div></div></li></ul></div><div class="group index collapsible collapsed"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="icon"></span></span><span class="icon"></span><h4 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Indexes</span></h4></div><ul class="content"><li class="item ref-rsg" data-extract-id=""><div class="subtitle">Research Guide</div><span class="scalableui"><p id="p230" data-pid="230" class="se"></p> <p id="p231" data-pid="231" class="su"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204435/234/0"><em>Insight,</em> Volume 1<em>,</em> p. 212</a></p> <p id="p232" data-pid="232" class="se"></p> </span></li><li class="item ref-dx" data-extract-id=""><div class="subtitle">Publications Index</div><span class="scalableui"><p id="p78" data-pid="78" class="sx"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270045/76/0">it-1 212;</a></p> <p id="p79" data-pid="79" class="sx"></p> <p id="p103" data-pid="103" class="sx"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020045/101/0">g78 9/8 28;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020045/101/2"> w73 308-309;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020045/101/5"> w53 725</a></p> <p id="p104" data-pid="104" class="sx"></p> </span></li></ul></div></div><div class="section" data-key="45-5-12" data-section-citation="045005012045005012"><h3 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Romans 5:12</span></h3><div class="studyNoteGroup"><ul class="content"><li class="item studyNote" data-extract-id=""><span class="scalableui"><p id="p19" data-pid="19" class="s5"><strong>because they had all sinned—:</strong> In this verse, Paul explains the basic truth about how sin and death spread to all humans. This explanation agrees with the theme of the book of Romans: God is impartial and holds out the possibility of salvation to all sinful humans having faith in Jesus’ ransom sacrifice. Paul explains that both Jews and non-Jews are sinners and need to exercise faith in Jehovah God and in the ransom of his Son to gain a righteous standing with God. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070722/17/0" data-bid="18-1" class="b">Ro 1:16, 17</a>) The <strong>world</strong> mentioned here refers to the world of mankind. (See <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070722/1/0">study note on Joh 3:16</a>.) The dash at the end of the verse (some scholarly editions of the Greek text also have a dash here) indicates a break in Paul’s reasoning that seems to resume in <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070722/18/0" data-bid="19-1" class="b">verse 18</a>. So the idea seems to be: In <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070722/19/0" data-bid="20-1" class="b">verse 12</a>, Paul begins a comparison with Adam (“Just as through one man” all became sinners) and completes his line of reasoning in <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070722/20/0" data-bid="21-1" class="b">verse 18</a> (“so too through one act of justification the result to men of all sorts is their being declared righteous for life”) and in <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070722/21/0" data-bid="22-1" class="b">verse 19</a>. Thus, through Jesus’ entire course of integrity, culminating in his death, it was made possible for many to attain righteousness and salvation by their faith.</p> </span></li></ul></div><div

word rendered “resemblance” is <em>tyʹpos,</em> literally meaning “type” or “pattern,” so the phrase “who bears a resemblance to the one” could also be rendered “who is a type (pattern) of him.”

action that meets the expectations of what is right or just. In this context, it refers to Jesus’ entire life course of flawless integrity to God, including his sacrifice. Jesus was the only human who through test stood righteous before God on his own merit. His “act of justification” resulted in his being acknowledged as righteous by God. It also qualified him to serve as God’s anointed King-Priest in heaven and provided the basis for declaring righteous those who exercise faith in him.—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070722/38/0"
