Paragraph 7. THE FALL
402
All men are implicated in Adam’s sin, as St. Paul affirms: “By one man’s
disobedience many (that is, all men) were made sinners”: “sin came
into the world through one man and death through sin, and so death spread to
all men because all men sinned.”289 The Apostle contrasts the
universality of sin and death with the universality of salvation in Christ.
“Then as one man’s trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one man’s
act of righteousness leads to acquittal and life for all men.”290
