The name "Adam" in Hebrew (אָדָם) means "man" or "mankind," signifying that Adam is representative of all humanity. In Genesis, Adam's disobedience led to the introduction of sin and death into the world (<a href="/genesis/3-17.htm">Genesis 3:17-19</a>). This phrase underscores the universal impact of Adam's sin, as it brought physical and spiritual death to all his descendants. Historically, this has been a foundational doctrine in Christian theology, emphasizing the need for redemption and the pervasive nature of sin. Theologically, it sets the stage for understanding the necessity of Christ's redemptive work.<p><b>so in Christ all will be made alive</b><br />The phrase "so in Christ all will be made alive" presents the contrasting and redemptive work of Jesus Christ. The Greek word for "Christ" (Χριστός) means "Anointed One," signifying Jesus as the Messiah who fulfills God's promises. The phrase "in Christ" is a key Pauline concept, indicating a spiritual union with Jesus through faith. This union is the basis for the believer's resurrection and eternal life. The word "alive" (ζωοποιηθήσονται) in Greek implies being made alive or quickened, not just physically but spiritually. This promise of life is not universal in the sense of automatic salvation for all, but it is available to all who are "in Christ" through faith. Historically, this reflects the early Christian hope in the resurrection, a central tenet of the faith that distinguishes Christianity from other worldviews. This phrase offers profound hope and assurance, emphasizing the transformative power of Christ's resurrection, which reverses the curse of death introduced by Adam.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/1_corinthians/15.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(22) <span class= "bld">As in Adam . . .</span>--Better, <span class= "ital">as in the Adam all die, so in the Christ shall all be made alive.</span> The first Adam and the second Adam here stand as the heads of Humanity. All that is fleshly in our nature is inherited from the Adam; in every true son of God it is dying daily, and will ultimately die altogether. All that is spiritual in our nature we inherit from the Christ; it is immortal, is rising daily, will ultimately be raised with a spiritual and immortal body. We must remember that the relationship of Christ to Humanity is not to be dated only from the Incarnation. Christ stood in the same federal relation to all who went before as He does to all who have come since. (See the same thought in <a href="/1_corinthians/10-4.htm" title="And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.">1Corinthians 10:4</a>, and in Christ's own words, "Before Abraham was, I am.") The results of Christ's death are co-extensive with the results of Adam's fall--they extend to all men; but the individual responsibility rests with each man as to which he will cherish--that which he derives from Christ or that which he derives from Adam--the "offence" of Adam or the "grace" of Christ. The best comment on this passage is, perhaps, the prayer in the Baptismal Office: "O merciful God, grant that the old Adam in this child may be so buried, that the new man may be raised up in him." There seems to be this moral significance in these words of St. Paul, as well as the obvious argument that, as all men die physically, so all shall be raised from the dead; as we have the evidence of death in the death of a man and of all men, so we have the evidence (and not the mere theoretical promise) of a resurrection in the resurrection of the Man Christ Jesus.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/1_corinthians/15.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 22.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">As in Adam all die.</span> All of us partake of Adam's nature, and are therefore liable to the death which that nature incurred as the law and condition of its humanity. <span class="cmt_word">In Christ shall all be made alive.</span> It is St. Paul's invariable habit to isolate his immediate subject; to think and to treat of one topic at a time. He is not here thinking directly and immediately of the resurrection in general. In this verse, writing to Christians who are "in Christ," he is only thinking and speaking of the resurrection of those who are "in Christ." That any can be <span class="accented">nominally</span> "in Christ," yet not <span class="accented">really</span> so, is a fact which is not at present under his cognizance; still less is he thinking of the world in general. In other words, he is here dealing with "the resurrection of life" alone, and not also with the "resurrection of judgment" (<a href="/john/5-26.htm">John 5:26-29</a>). Still, as far as his words alone are concerned, it is so impossible to understand the phrase, "shall all be made alive," of a resurrection to endless torments, that his language at least <span class="accented">suggests</span> the conclusion that "the principle which has come to actuality in Christ is of sufficient energy to quicken <span class="accented">all men</span> for the resurrection to the blessed life" (Baur, 'Life of St. Paul,' 2:219). <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/1_corinthians/15-22.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div><span class="word">For as</span><br /><span class="grk">ὥσπερ</span> <span class="translit">(hōsper)</span><br /><span class="parse">Adverb<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_5618.htm">Strong's 5618: </a> </span><span class="str2">Just as, as, even as.
