He contrasts them. "As in Adam all men die; so in Christ all will be brought
to life."
death and life are absolutes. The contrast is total, absolute. This is not a

"The first man Adam became an animate being whereas the last Adam has become
a life giving spirit....the first man was made of the dust of the earth: the
second man is from heaven." Cor.15:45
