Exegesis
houtos {ὥσπερ … οὕτως | hṓs-per … hoú-tōs} frames a parallel between two sovereign rulers: sin (he hamartia) whose aorist indicative ebasileusen {ἐβασίλευσεν | e-ba-sí-leu-sen} locates its decisive rule within the realm of death (en tō thanatō), and grace (he charis) whose subjunctive basileuse {βασιλεύσῃ | ba-si-leú-sē} indicates the divine purpose for rulership.
In context — Romans 5:21
In order that just as sin ruled in death, so also grace might rule through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord .
