1 CORINTHIANS 15:21 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.”
For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man — Paul invokes the Adam-Christ typology: Adam's transgression brought death universally; Christ's obedience brings resurrection universally. Humanity's fate is determined not by individual choice but by representational headship.
Church Fathers on 1 Corinthians 15:21
“For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.” But if by a man, doubtless by one having a body. And observe his thoughtfulness, how on another ground also he makes his argument inevitable. As thus: “he that is defeated,” says he, “must in his own person also renew the conflict, the nature which was cast down must itself also gain the victory. For so the reproach was wiped away.” But let us see what kind of death he is speaking of.
