Lots of extending to the whole human race references there. My inner hope-filled Christian universalist very much likes that one :) That’s a beautiful translation.

For if through the transgression of the one individual the mass of mankind have died, infinitely greater is the generosity with which God?s grace, and the gift wrapped up in His grace, which found expression in another individual, Jesus Christ, have been bestowed on the mass of mankind. It follows then that just as the result of a single transgression is a condemnation, which extends to the whole human race, so also the result of a single decree of righteousness is a life-giving acquittal which extends to the whole human race.? Rom.5:15,18. Weymouth Translation. Hi Sue

And it's perturbing to see how the negative things breed more negativity; and the pull of it is so strong that some people can easily remain in it all their lives, never realising that the breeding of love is even greater. It amazes me what blossoms out of that space when God is allowed to just weave himself in and out of someone's life. A hundredfold, a thousandfold :) Thanks for this post. It was a real nice way to start my Sunday morning :) I keep thinking lately of the multiplying effects of what we do – hate breeding hate, anger breeding anger, love breeding love, like the yeast in the bread.
