HI-na HÔS-per e-ba-SI-leu-sen hê ha-mar-TI-a en tôi tha-NA-tôi HOU-tôs kai hê KHA-ris ba-si-LEU-sêi di-A di-kai-o-SY-nês eis dzô-ÊN ai-Ô-ni-on di-A ee-ay-SOO khree-STOO tou ky-REE-ou hê-MON
Exegesis
The instrumental phrase dia dikaiosynes {διὰ δικαιοσύνης | di-á di-kai-o-sý-nēs} shows righteousness as the means by which grace exercises its reign, and eis zoen aiōnion {εἰς ζωὴν αἰώνιον | eis zō-ḗn ai-ṓ-ni-on} marks the goal “into eternal life.”
The mediating agency is conveyed by dia Iesou Christou {διὰ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ | di-á Iē-soû Khris-toû}, and the genitive apposition tou kyriou hemon {τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν | toû ku-rí-ou hē-môn} identifies Jesus Christ as “our Lord,” providing a climactic Christological focus.
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 .
