What does the Bible say about original sin?

Answered in 13 sources

The Bible teaches that original sin is the condition inherited from Adam, where by one man's disobedience, sin entered the world and affected all of humanity (Romans 5:12).

The concept of original sin is notably addressed in Romans 5:12, where it states, 'Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, in this way death came to all people, because all sinned.' This doctrine asserts that through Adam's transgression, all humanity is born with a sinful nature, inherently separated from God. Isaiah 53:6 reflects this reality, emphasizing that 'all we, like sheep, have gone astray,' which denotes the universal nature of sin that affects every person, leaving them spiritually destitute and in need of a Savior.
