For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
All Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 15:21 Go To 1 Corinthians 15
Athanasius the Apostolic
AD 373
For by the sacrifice of his own body he both put an end to the law which was against us and made a new beginning of life for us, by the hope of resurrection which he has given us. For since from man it was that death prevailed over men, for this cause conversely, by the Word of God being made man has come about the destruction of death and the resurrection of life.
