Death Came Through Adam But Life Comes Through Christ
12 So then, just as sin entered the world through one man and death through sin, and so death spread to all people because all sinned -- 13 for before the law was given, sin was in the world, but there is no accounting for sin when there is no law. 14 Yet death reigned from Adam until Moses even over those who did not sin in the same way that Adam (who is a type of the coming one) transgressed.
