“Wherefore, 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:”
Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned. The doctrine of original sin: one man (Adam, implied) introduced sin and death into the cosmos. Death is the consequence; it spread to all humanity because all sinned. The universality of sin and death reflects the solidarity of humanity with Adam's transgression.
