Please bear with me on this, I'm trying to get a firm grasp on this one.
So it's not the imputation of the sin of Adam, but the result of that sin, the corruption of our natures, that has the damning effect? Yet it is in the act itself that Adam brought death upon himself and his posterity. It sort of seems like two sides of the same coin to me.

It would seem that this verse makes reference to the act (one transgression) resulting in condemnation upon all. What other scriptures shed light on this subject?
