“Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.”
Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam. Death exercised dominion over all, even those who did not violate explicit law. Adam's sin alone—the archetypal transgression of God's command—brought death to all. Death's universal reign despite the absence of written law demonstrates the reality of sin's power independent of law.
