In the day the God made the earth and the heavens, the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living soul. And from the flesh of Adam, God formed a woman, which the man named Eve because she was the mother of all living. Although Adam lived in paradise in close fellowship with God, the first man was deceived with his wife into sin for which God warned, "you shall surely die". So the woman and the man condemned themselves to death, according to the curse which God spoke to Adam, "By the sweat of your face you shall eat, till you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; for you are dust, and to dust you shall return." So the Lord God sent the man and his wife out from paradise and prohibited mortals from partaking of the tree of life.
Sin therefore came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men. According to God's righteous law, the soul who sins shall die. Having been alienated from God through sin, mankind is already condemned. And by works no man is justified in the sight of God. Humanity has already been charged that all are under sin, as it is written: "None is righteous, no not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one." Lacking the repentance that leads to life, man is dead in trespasses and sin, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience. The children of man have fallen away, they have all become corrupt as Jesus said, "no one is good except God alone." So death has reigned from Adam, even over those whose sin was not like the transgression of Adam.
Of first importance is that Jesus has died for our sins, he was buried, and he was raised on the third day. Our hope and faith in the Gospel rests on the promise that we shall likewise attain the resurrection from the dead at the end of the age. Although the first man Adam became a living being, the last Adam became a life-giving spirit. Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the man of heaven. At the last trumpet the dead will be raised imperishable and be changed. For the perishable body must put on the imperishable, and the mortal body must put on immorality so that it comes to pass, as it is written, "Death is swallowed up in victory". We believe that Jesus died and rose again – likewise God will bring with Christ those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will return and descend from heaven with a cry of command and the dead in Christ will rise.
Despite death's curse through one man's trespass, the gift of righteousness following many trespasses now reigns in life through the one man Jesus Christ. Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men. As by the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous. For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. As in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only son, that whoever believes in him should not perish. Thanks be to God in showing his love for us that, while we were under the law of sin and death, Christ died for the ungodly to justify us by his blood in saving us from the wrath of God.
