Acacius of Caesarea, on Rom 5:18

“Therefore, as by the offence of one, unto all men to condemnation; so also by the justice of one, unto all men to justification of life.”

“Paul does not mean by this that because one man sinned everybody else had to pay the price for it even though they had not committed the sin, for that would be unjust. Rather he says that from its beginning in Adam humanity derived both its existence and its sinfulness.”
