Death in Adam, Life in Christ

12 Therefore, just as athrough one man sin entered the world, and bdeath through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned—  
13 (For until the law sin was in the world, but asin is not imputed when there is no law.  
14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned according to the likeness of the transgression of Adam, awho is a type of Him who was to come.  
15 But the free gift is not like the1 offense. For if by the one man’s offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded ato many.  
16 And the gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned. For the judgment which came from one offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift which came from many1 offenses resulted in justification.  
17 For if by the one man’s1 offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)

Romans 5:14

Even over them that had not sinned after the likeness of Adam's transgression (kai epi touv mh amarthsantav epi tw omoiwmati thv parabasewv Adam). Adam violated an express command of God and Moses gave the law of God clearly. And yet sin and death followed all from Adam on till Moses, showing clearly that the sin of Adam brought terrible consequences upon the race. Death has come upon infants and idiots also as a result of sin, but one understands Paul to mean that they are not held responsible by the law of conscience.

A figure (tupov). See on Acts 7:43; I Thessalonians 1:7; II Thessalonians 3:9; I Corinthians 10:6 for this word. Adam is a type of Christ in holding a relation to those affected by the headship in each case, but the parallel is not precise as Paul shows.
