"And as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all shall be made alive." (1 Corinthians 15:22)
"For this Body of the Lord, which entered in among the Disciples though the doors were closed, is the same which at His Birth came forth to human eyes from the closed womb of the Virgin. What wonder therefore that, now risen from the dead, and about to enter into eternal life, He should enter in while yet the doors are closed, Who coming into this world to die came forth from the unopened womb of the Virgin?"
