Eusebius of Caesarea, on Rom 5:12
Eusebius of Caesarea · c. A.D. 260–339
Rom 5:12 · Douay-Rheims
“Wherefore as by one man sin entered into this world, and by sin death; and so death passed upon all men, in whom all have sinned.”
On this verse:
“Since the apostle said: "By man death entered into the world," it was surely essential that the victory over death should be achieved by man as well, and the body of death be shown to be the body of life, and the reign of sin that before ruled in the mortal body be destroyed so that it should no longer serve sin but righteousness.”
