Romans 5:20-21
New King James Version (NKJV)
20 Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded (pleonazo-increased), grace abound (huperperisseuo – superabounded and some more on top of that) much more, 21 so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 6:1-2
New King James Version (NKJV)
People with no revelation of Jesus asking
6 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound (pleonazo-increased)?2 Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?
- They didn’t use the same word
- They didn’t understand what Paul was saying
- They had no revelation of Jesus
- They didn’t listen to the message properly
“How can the medicine that’s supposed to kill the disease (grace) feed the disease (sin)?” – John Calvin
- Grace is not an empowerment, but it produces the empowerment.
- How it produces empowerment ? By the revelation of the Gift of no condemnation. That empowers to sin no more
John 8:10-12
New King James Version (NKJV)
10 When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, “Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?”
11 She said, “No one, Lord.”
And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.”
12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not (ou – me : strong negative) walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”
- shall not (ou – me : strong negative : Double Negative)
- YOU CANNOT WALK IN DARKNESS WHEN YOU ARE A DISCIPLE OF JESUS
