This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Shall be made alive (zōopoiēthēsontai). First future passive indicative of zōopoieō, late verb (Aristotle) to give life, to restore to life as here. In 1Co 15:36 zōopoieitai is used in the sense of natural life as in Joh 5:21; Joh 6:63 of spiritual life. It is not easy to catch Paul’s thought here. He means resurrection (restoration) by the verb here, but not necessarily eternal life or salvation. So also pantes may not coincide in both clauses. All who die die in Adam, all who will be made alive will be made alive (restored to life) in Christ. The same problem occurs in Rom 5:18 about “all,” and in Rom 5:19 about “the many.”
