The Sins of Man


The LORD saw how great man's wickedness on the earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time. (Genesis 6:5)

“Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from childhood.” (Genesis 8:21)

The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt; their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good. The Lord looks down from Heaven on the sons of men to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God. All have turned aside, together they have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one. (Psalm 14:1-3)

There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death. (Proverbs 16:25)

There is not a righteous man on earth who does what is right and never sins. (Ecclesiastes 7:20)

This is the evil in everything that happens under the sun: The same destiny overtakes all. The hearts of men, moreover, are full of evil, and there is madness in their hearts while they live. (Ecclesiastes 9:3)

The heart is deceitful above all things, and beyond cure. Who can understand it? (Jeremiah 17:9)

There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands; no one who seeks God. All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, NOT EVEN ONE. (Romans 3:10-12)

“There is no difference, for ALL have sinned, and fall short of the Glory of God.”
(Romans 3:23)

“Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to ALL MEN, because all sinned...” (Romans 5:12)

But the Scripture declares that the whole world is a prisoner of sin...(Galatians 3:22)

As for you, you were dead in transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature and following it's desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature objects of wrath. (Ephesians 2:1-3)
