MUCH MORE
Seven times Paul, in writing to the Romans, uses the term, "Much More".
Five of them are in chapter 5. Look at them:
vs 9-- Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be
saved from wrath through him.
vs 10--For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the
death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
Vs 15--But not as the offence, so also [is] the free gift. For if
through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and
the gift by grace, [which is] by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto
many.
Vs 17-- For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more
they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall
reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
Vs 20- Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But
where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
The other two places are in chapter eleven.
Vs 12-- Now if the fall of them [be] the riches of the world, and the
diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?
Vs 24--For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by
nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much
more shall these, which be the natural [branches], be graffed into their own
olive tree?
