"And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened
unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded
thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in
sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
“Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and
thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
“In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou
return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and
unto dust shalt thou return." - Genesis 3:17-19 KJV
Jesus, "the last Adam" died for the sin brought on
by "first man Adam."

the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall
all be made alive." - 1 Corinthians 15:20-22 KJV
"And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a
living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. ... The first man is
of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven." - 1

Jesus became cursed, just as the ground was cursed out of

sake…" - Genesis 3:17 KJV

and unto dust shalt thou return." - Genesis 3:19 KJV

and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!" - John

angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by
the grace of God should taste death for every man." - Hebrews 2:9 KJV (Psa
8:5)
In the garden of Gethsemane He sweat as it were great drops
of blood, praying for the life of the world and the strength to offer His flesh

his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground."
- Luke 22:44 KJV
