6 Bible Verses about Deception In Fallen Human Nature

their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:

out of the heart proceed evil designs, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false testimony, slanders.

for from within, from the heart of man proceed wicked designs, adulteries, fornications, murders; thefts, avarice, malice, fraud, impudence, envy, scandal, pride, vanity.

they were full of all injustice, fornication, mischief, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, contention, fraud, malignity;

as for these impious impostors, they will go on from bad to worse, seducing others, and deluding themselves.

one of their own prophets said, "the Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, slow bellies."
