For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
All Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 15:22 Go To 1 Corinthians 15
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
No human enters into death except through Adam and no one into eternal life except through Christ. This is the meaning of that repeated phrase all, because as all men belong to Adam through their first or carnal birth, so all men who belong to Christ come to the second or spiritual birth. Therefore he says “all” in both places because as all who die die only in Adam, so all who will be made alive will not be made alive except in Christ. Letter , To Jerome
