{Even over them that had not sinned after the likeness of
Adam's transgression} (kai epi tous m(8820)hamart(8873)antas epi t(9369)
homoi(936d)ati t(8873) parabase(9373) Adam). Adam violated an express
command of God and Moses gave the law of God clearly. And yet sin
and death followed all from Adam on till Moses, showing clearly
that the sin of Adam brought terrible consequences upon the race.
Death has come upon infants and idiots also as a result of sin,
but one understands Paul to mean that they are not held
responsible by the law of conscience. {A figure} (	upos). See
on 涉c 7:43; 1Th 1:7; 2Th 3:9; 1Co 10:6| for this word. Adam is a
type of Christ in holding a relation to those affected by the
headship in each case, but the parallel is not precise as Paul
shows.
