Thank you for your response, Iver. If I understand you correctly, you 
are pretty much in agreement with Carl. And if I understand both of you 
correctly, you are saying that EF' hWi in Rom 5.12 is a marker of cause 
or basis for a subsequent event. Is this the case? It seems most 
translations reflect this understanding.
