1 Timothy 2:13-15 ESV
For Adam was formed first, then Eve; and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor. Yet she will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control.
Adam was not deceived, yet also became a transgressor. His can be viewed as the greater transgression. Because of him the ground was cursed and man labors under that curse today.
Through childbearing. from Eve's descendants would come the Son of Man. He would take Adam's place and would succeed where Adam failed. Jesus would combine the dust of the earth with the breath of life and manifest the full image of God in man.
If the Church continues in faith and love and holiness, with self control, we will be saved. It is not a corporate judgment, but decided by each person's walk. We can walk where Adam could not.
