Thomas Aquinas, on 1Cor 15:22
Thomas Aquinas · 1225–1274
1Cor 15:22 · Douay-Rheims
“And as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all shall be made alive.”
On this verse:
“932. – For as in Adam. Here he proves the same in special, saying that as in Adam we all die a bodily death, so too we are all made alive in Christ: "As sin came into the world through one man" (Rom 5:12). He does not say through Eve, which seems contrary to Sir (25:33): "Through her we all die." I answer that this is through Eve suggesting, but through Adam as cause. For if Eve alone had sinned, original sin would not have been passed on to their descendants. That shall all be made alive, I say, in Christ, namely, the good and the bad with the life of nature, but the good only with the life of grace. Yet the Apostle speaks here of a resurrection to a life of nature, to which all shall be made alive. "As the Father has life in himself, so He has granted the Son also to have life in himself" (Jn. 5:26), i.e., the power to grant life: "All who are in the tombs will hear his voice" (Jn. 5:28).”
