In context

12Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, so also death was passed on to all men, because all sinned.

14Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who did not sin in the way that Adam transgressed. He is a pattern of the One to come.
