Genesis 6:5-8
And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and
that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only
evil continually. And it repented the Lord that he had made man on
the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the Lord said, I
will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth;
both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the
air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. But Noah found grace
in the eyes of the Lord.
Genesis 6:11-13
The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with
violence. And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was
corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. And God
said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the
earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will
destroy them with the earth.
Genesis 8:21
And the Lord smelled a sweet savour; and the Lord said in his heart,
I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the
imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I
again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.
Deuteronomy 32:10
He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness;
he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his
eye.
Job 4:17-19
Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure
than his maker? Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his
angels he charged with folly: How much less in them that dwell in
houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which are
crushed before the moth?
Job 9:2-3
I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God?
If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand.
Job 9:20
If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I
am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.
Job 9:29-31
If I be wicked, why then labour I in vain? If I wash myself with
snow water, and make my hands never so clean; Yet shalt thou plunge
me in the ditch, and mine own clothes shall abhor me.
Job 11:12
For vain man would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass's
colt.
Job 14:4
Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.
Job 15:14-16
What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a
woman, that he should be righteous? Behold, he putteth no trust in
his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight. How much
more abominable and filthy is man, which drinketh iniquity like
water?
Job 25:4-6
How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that
is born of a woman? Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not;
yea, the stars are not pure in his sight. How much less man, that
is a worm? and the son of man, which is a worm?
Psalms 5:9
For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part
is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they
flatter with their tongue.
Psalms 14:1-3
*To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.* The fool hath said in
his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done
abominable works, there is none that doeth good. The Lord looked
down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any
that did understand, and seek God. They are all gone aside, they
are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good,
no, not one.
Psalms 51:5
Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive
me.
Psalms 53:1-3
*To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil, A Psalm of David.*
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are
they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth
good. God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see
if there were any that did understand, that did seek God. Every
one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there
is none that doeth good, no, not one.
Psalms 58:1-5
*To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David.* Do ye indeed
speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye
sons of men? Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence
of your hands in the earth. The wicked are estranged from the womb:
they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies. Their poison
is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder
that stoppeth her ear; Which will not hearken to the voice of
charmers, charming never so wisely.
Psalms 94:11
The Lord knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.

no man living be justified.

work is right.
Ecclesiastes 7:20
For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and
sinneth not.
Ecclesiastes 8:11
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.
Ecclesiastes 9:3
This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun,
that there is one event unto all: yea, also the heart of the sons
of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they
live, and after that they go to the dead.
Isaiah 1:5-6
Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more:
the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. From the sole of
the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but
wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been
closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.
Isaiah 42:6-7
I the Lord have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine
hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the
people, for a light of the Gentiles; To open the blind eyes, to

darkness out of the prison house.

Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have
ears.

are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our
iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

thine iniquity is marked before me, saith the Lord God.

me, saith the Lord.

continually is grief and wounds.

may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.

one after the imagination of his evil heart, that they may not
hearken unto me:

who can know it?

within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh,
and I will give you an heart of flesh.

of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was
full of bones, And caused me to pass by them round about: and,
behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they
were very dry. And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones
live? And I answered, O Lord God, thou knowest.

just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein.
Micah 7:2-4
The good man is perished out of the earth: and there is none
upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every
man his brother with a net. 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. The best of them is as a brier: the most upright is
sharper than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen and thy
visitation cometh; now shall be their perplexity.

tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things:
and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.

For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries,
fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:

All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

of this world; I am not of this world.

bond of iniquity.

judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself;
for thou that judgest doest the same things.
Romans 3:9-19
What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have
before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;
As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is
none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They
are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable;
there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Their throat is an
open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison
of asps is under their lips: Whose mouth is full of cursing and
bitterness: Their feet are swift to shed blood: Destruction and
misery are in their ways: And the way of peace have they not
known: There is no fear of God before their eyes. Now we know that
what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the
law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become
guilty before God.
Romans 3:23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Romans 5:6
For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for
the ungodly.
Romans 5:12-14
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:
(For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when
there is no law. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even
over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's
transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
Romans 6:6
Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the
body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve
sin.
Romans 6:19-20
I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your
flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness
and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members
servants to righteousness unto holiness. For when ye were the
servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
Romans 7:5
For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by
the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.
Romans 7:11
For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it
slew me.
Romans 7:13-15
Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin,
that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good;
that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful. For we
know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. For
that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but
what I hate, that do I.
Romans 7:18-21
For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good
thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that
which is good I find not. For the good that I would I do not: but
the evil which I would not, that I do. Now if I do that I would not,
it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. I find then
a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
Romans 7:23
But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my
mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in
my members.
Romans 7:25
I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I
myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
Romans 8:5-8
For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh;
but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to
be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is
life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for
it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then
they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
Romans 8:13
For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the
Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
Romans 11:32
For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have
mercy upon all.
1 Corinthians 2:14
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God:
for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them,
because they are spiritually discerned.
1 Corinthians 3:3
For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and
strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
1 Corinthians 5:9
I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:
2 Corinthians 3:4
And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward:
2 Corinthians 5:14
For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that
if one died for all, then were all dead:
Galatians 3:10-11
For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for
it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all
things which are written in the book of the law to do them. But that
no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident:
for, The just shall live by faith.
Galatians 3:22
But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by
faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
Galatians 5:17
For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the
flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye
cannot do the things that ye would.
Galatians 5:19-21
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these;
Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry,
witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions,
heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like:
of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time
past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom
of God.
Ephesians 2:1-3
And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this
world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit
that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we
all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh,
fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by
nature the children of wrath, even as others.
Ephesians 2:12
That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the
commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise,
having no hope, and without God in the world:
Ephesians 4:17-19
This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth
walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, Having
the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God
through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of
their heart: Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto
lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
Ephesians 4:22
That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man,
which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
Ephesians 5:8
For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord:
walk as children of light:
Ephesians 5:14
Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the
dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
Colossians 1:13
Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath
translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
Colossians 1:21
And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by
wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled
Colossians 2:13
And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your
flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all
trespasses;
Colossians 3:5
Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth;
fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence,
and covetousness, which is idolatry:
Colossians 3:7
In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.
2 Timothy 2:26
And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the
devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
Titus 3:3
For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived,
serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy,
hateful, and hating one another.
James 3:2
For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the
same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
James 4:5
Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that
dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?
1 Peter 1:18
Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible
things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received
by tradition from your fathers;
1 Peter 2:9
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy
nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of
him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
1 John 1:8
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth
is not in us.
1 John 2:16
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust
of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of
the world.

In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the
devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he
that loveth not his brother.

And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in
wickedness.
Revelation 3:17
Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have
need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and
miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
