The next thing that we learn from Paul is that there is a specific offense of “Adam” (the one man).

Rom 5:14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who had not sinned in the likeness of the offense of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come.

Notice here that Paul says that death came from Adam even over those who had not sinned in the same way that Adam had sinned. What is the offense of Adam that is different than the offense of Eve? And where will we find this located in the Old Testament? Again we will be looking at this one shortly.
