Theodoret of Cyrus, on Rom 5:12

Theodoret of Cyrus · c. A.D. 393–457
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:
“St. Paul says that when Adam sinned he became mortal because of it and passed both on to his descendants. Thus death came to all men, in that all sinned. But each person receives the sentence of death not because of the sin of his first ancestor but because of his own sin.”
