Made vs constituted

[arapahoepark]

With regard to Romans 5:19 and 2 Corinthians 5:21, why is it translated as mad in many Bible versions? Is there a good reason for that? What of the word constituted that I find frequently when paraphrasing specifically Romans 5:19? What does the actual Greek word mean since I am just a layman?

like his Immortal body, there is a parallelism of thought here that is so characteristic of Hebrew thought, though it is
Presenting a contrast between 2 Federal Covenantal relationships that are also 2 different states of existence, one in
Adam which is earthly, carnal, fallen & sinful, the other in Christ which is Heavenly, Spiritual,Redeemed & Holy.

We were made one & shall by grace be made the other.
