JER. XVII, 9. The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? ROM. VI, 23. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. 5. MAN'S MORAL NATURE CORRUPTED BY THE FALL. ROM. V, 17. For if by one man's offense death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign by one, Jesus Christ. 18. Therefore, as by the offense of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. 19. For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. ROM. VIII, 7. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. ROM. V, 12. Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned. ISAIAH I, 4. Ah, sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evil-doers, children that are corrupters! they have forsaken the Lord, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel into anger, they are gone away backward. JER. IV, 22. For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge. JOHN III, 19. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. PROV. II, 14. Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked. MICAH VII, 3. That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the judge asketh for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up. PSALM LVIII, 3. The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies. ISAIAH I, 6. From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrefying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment. ECCL. VIII, 11. Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. MARK VII, 21. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, 22. Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: 23. All these evil things come from within, and defile the man. ACTS XXVIII, 27. For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
