Adam identifies the ancestral figure named in lineage, formation, transgression, death, and first-man statements.

Adam is used as the name of a particular ancestral figure: most often in statements about death, transgression, formation, and the contrast between the first and last Adam; it also marks descent or sequence in genealogical expressions.

   In Romans 5:14 the genitive form occurs in the clauses about death reigning “from Adam until Moses” and transgression “of Adam.” In 1 Corinthians 15:22 the dative form is used in the relation “in Adam,” while 1 Corinthians 15:45 names “The first man Adam” in contrast with “the last Adam”; 1 Timothy 2:13 and 1 Timothy 2:14 name Adam in statements about being formed first and not being deceived.

2. Genealogical point of descent or sequence · occasional

   In Luke 3:38 the genitive form appears in the genealogical chain, rendered by the APB as “the son of Adam.” In Jude 1:14 it marks the sequence “the seventh from Adam.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the name directly as “Adam” in the supplied verses, including genealogical phrases such as “the son of Adam” and “the seventh from Adam.” Its surrounding wording confirms the clauses without independently defining the term.
