Here is what you said.
"Romans 1 thru 5:11 [Subject] is "sinS"
I hope you allow me to correct the way that you have been reading Romans chapters 1-5
Now have a look at these selected verses from Romans 2 to Romans 5.
Tell me if you think Paul is talking about sin?
--"sin
S"--in the Section
between Romans 1 to Romans 5:11--the [things] we commit [etc]... the [things] which can be and are "FORGIVEN" [etc]. Think: "sinned" Rom2:12 [2x], 3:23; "sinner" Romans 3:7; "iniquities" and "sins" Romans 4:7, etc etc;
--"
Sin"--in the Section
between Romans 5:12 to Romans 8-end--that which is NEVER "forgiven,"
only "CONDEMNED"...
In this post, my focus will be on the latter of these two (to show example):
Consider the following (in which I will place the SECOND Section... the one regarding "
Sin" [often '
THE Sin']):
[
note: this took a long time to type up... so I'm only placing the "definite article ['THE']" where it's used (in the Grk) with the word "SIN," not in EVERY use of the word "the" where it's found in the Grk in these verses, below... saving me a little work and time... I'm focusing on the
*main point* of my post, here]
[
Sin] -
1)
Rom 5:12 - "THE Sin [2x]"
Wherefore, as by one man
THE sin entered into the world, and death by
THE sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
[Then when Paul is
done covering the Subject of "
Sin"...
after chpt 8, Paul then transitions (in chpts 9-11) to covering the Subject of [
the understood question]: 'what of the promises
made to Israel? [
where are they? what happened to them?]'--Subject being, basically, 'nations' ("Israel [
singular nation]" and "Gentiles [
plural nations]"... only mentioning "sin
s" when speaking of Israel's "
future" in 11:27 ["when I shall take away their
sins"] which correlates with Isa27:
9[,12-13]/Matt24:29-31 and Dan9:24, etc etc)]
Hope this helps you see a little better, my perspective (as to your question posed in a previous post). = )
