  • Rom 5:12-21 : 12 For this reason, as through one man sin came into the world, and death because of sin, and so death came to all men, because all have done evil: 13 Because, till the law came, sin was in existence, but sin is not put to the account of anyone when there is no law to be broken. 14 But still death had power from Adam till Moses, even over those who had not done wrong like Adam, who is a picture of him who was to come. 15 But the free giving of God is not like the wrongdoing of man. For if, by the wrongdoing of one man death came to numbers of men, much more did the grace of God, and the free giving by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, come to men. 16 And the free giving has not the same effect as the sin of one: for the effect of one man's sin was punishment by the decision of God, but the free giving had power to give righteousness to wrongdoers in great number. 17 For, if by the wrongdoing of one, death was ruling through the one, much more will those to whom has come the wealth of grace and the giving of righteousness, be ruling in life through the one, even Jesus Christ. 18 So then, as the effect of one act of wrongdoing was that punishment came on all men, even so the effect of one act of righteousness was righteousness of life for all men. 19 Because, as numbers of men became sinners through the wrongdoing of one man, even so will great numbers get righteousness through the keeping of the word of God by one man. 20 And the law came in addition, to make wrongdoing worse; but where there was much sin, there was much more grace: 21 That, as sin had power in death, so grace might have power through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
  • 1 Cor 15:21-22 : 21 For as by man came death, so by man there is a coming back from the dead. 22 For as in Adam death comes to all, so in Christ will all come back to life.

    37And when you put it into the earth, you do not put in the body which it will be, but only the seed, of grain or some other sort of plant;

    38But God gives it a body, as it is pleasing to him, and to every seed its special body.

    39All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one flesh of men, another of beasts, another of birds, and another of fishes.

    40And there are bodies of heaven and bodies of earth, but the glory of the one is different from that of the other.

    41There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for the glory of one star is different from that of another.

    42So is it with the coming back from the dead. It is planted in death; it comes again in life:

    43It is planted in shame; it comes again in glory: feeble when it is planted, it comes again in power:

    44It is planted a natural body; it comes again as a body of the spirit. If there is a natural body, there is equally a body of the spirit.

    45And so it is said, The first man Adam was a living soul. The last Adam is a life-giving spirit.

    46But that which is natural comes before that which is of the spirit.

    47The first man is from the earth, and of the earth: the second man is from heaven.
