ACC ~ 1 Corinthians 15 v22a

IN ADAM ALL DIE. TERTULLIAN: If Adam is a type of Christ then Adam’s sleep is a symbol of the death of Christ, and by the wound in the side of Christ was typified the church, the true mother of all the living. ON THE SOUL 43.10.

WHO IS INCLUDED? AUGUSTINE: This does not mean that all who die in Adam will be members of Christ, since the majority will be punished in eternity by a second death. The apostle uses the word all in both clauses because as no one dies in a natural body except in Adam, so no one is made to live again in a spiritual body, except in Christ. CITY OF GOD 13.23.

MAN AND THE SON OF MAN. AUGUSTINE: Man indeed brought death to himself and to the Son of Man. But the Son of Man, by dying and rising again, brought life to man. LETTER 140, TO HONORATUS 9.

WHAT OF ENOCH AND ELIJAH? SEVERIAN OF GABALA: Strictly speaking, not everyone has died. Enoch and Elijah, for example, never did. Some will be found alive at the second coming of the Savior. PAULINE COMMENTARY FROM THE GREEK CHURCH.
