Therefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
All Commentaries on Romans 5:12 Go To Romans 5
Ambrose of Milan
AD 397
Although through one man’s sin death has passed to all men, him whom we do not refuse to acknowledge as the father of the human race we cannot refuse to acknowledge as also the author of death…. In Adam I fell, in Adam I was cast out of paradise, in Adam I died. How shall God call me back, except he find me in Adam? For just as in Adam I am guilty of sin and owe a debt to death, so in Christ I am justified.
