Acacius of Caesarea, on Rom 5:14
Acacius of Caesarea · c. A.D. 300–366
Rom 5:14 · Douay-Rheims
“But death reigned from Adam unto Moses, even over them also who have not sinned after the similitude of the transgression of Adam, who is a figure of him who was to come.”
On this verse:
“Paul said this in order to contradict those who thought that the Genesis story of the fall applied to nobody but Adam himself. For here he says that all have sinned, even if not exactly in the same way as Adam, and that the Genesis account applies to all men.”
