But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.

Irenaeus of Lyons
AD 202
And receiving into His bosom the ancient fathers, has regenerated them into the life of God, He having been made Himself the beginning of those that live, as Adam became the beginning of those who die.
