Paul's argument in Romans 5:12-21 requires a historical Adam and a historical Fall, 1 Corinthians 15:22 and 45 make this explicit: as in Adam all die, so in Christ all shall be made alive. If Adam is a myth, the parallel with Christ collapses. Thread 5 is the dispensational historical-literal reading: Genesis 3 is history, not allegory.
But not as the trespass, so also the free gift. The gift is asymmetrical: it exceeds the damage. Much more, pollō mallon, the grace of God and the gift in grace abounded. Where sin increased, grace super-abounded. The damage of one man's disobedience is real and total; the provision of one man's obedience is more than sufficient to meet it.
As through one man's trespass judgment came to all men, so through one man's act of righteousness the free gift came to all men unto justification of life.
