Bible References

Being

And Yahweh saw that the evil of humankind [was] great upon the earth, and every inclination of the thoughts of his heart [was] always only evil.

And Yahweh smelled the soothing fragrance, and Yahweh said {to himself}, "{Never again will I curse} the ground for the sake of humankind, because the inclination of the heart of humankind [is] evil from his youth. {Nor will I ever again destroy} all life as I have done.

{How much less} he who is abominable and corrupt, a man drinking wickedness like water.

The heart [is] deceitful more than anything else, and it [is] disastrous. Who can understand it?

What then? Do we have an advantage? Not at all. For we have already charged both Jews and Greeks are all under sin,

But the scripture imprisoned all under sin, in order that the promise could be given by faith in Jesus Christ to those who believe.

And you, {although you were dead} in your trespasses and sins,

For we also were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, enslaved to various desires and pleasures, spending our lives in wickedness and envy, despicable, hating one another.
