> This seems to be the case in Romans 5:18-19.  The Greek text is below:
>
> Ἄρα οὖν ὡς δι᾽ ἑνὸς παραπτώματος εἰς
> πάντας ἀνθρώπους εἰς κατάκριμα οὕτως καὶ δι᾽ ἑνὸς δικαιώματος εἰς
> πάντας ἀνθρώπους εἰς δικαίωσιν ζωῆς
> ὥσπερ γὰρ διὰ τῆς παρακοῆς τοῦ ἑνὸς ἀνθρώπου ἁμαρτωλοὶ κατεστάθησαν οἱ
> πολλοί οὕτως καὶ διὰ τῆς ὑπακοῆς τοῦ ἑνὸς δίκαιοι κατασταθήσονται οἱ
> πολλοί
>
> PAS and POLUS seem to be used interchangeably between Mark 10:45 and 1 Tim.
> 2:6 as well:
>
> Mark 10:45
> καὶ γὰρ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου οὐκ ἦλθεν διακονηθῆναι ἀλλὰ διακονῆσαι καὶ
> δοῦναι τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ λύτρον ἀντὶ πολλῶν
>
> 1 Tim. 2:6
>
>                         ὁ δοὺς ἑαυτὸν ἀντίλυτρον ὑπὲρ πάντων τὸ μαρτύριον
> καιροῖς ἰδίοις
>
> The reason I ask this is because I was recently involved in a  discussion
> wherein the argument was made that because 'many' does not mean 'all', then
> the use of POLUS in Romans 5:19 necessarily limits the scope of PAS in v.
> 18.
>
> Just wanted to get some feedback from the list.
