When Adam fell into sin, the result was every one of his descendants also being “infected” with sin. David lamented this fact in one of his Psalms: “Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me” (Psalm 51:5).
Wakati Adamu alianguka katika dhambi, matokeo yake ilikuwa ni kila mmoja wa uzao wake pia utaathirika na "kuambukiziwa" dhambi. Daudi aliomboleza kwa ukweli huu katika mojawapo ya Zaburi zake: "Tazam mimi naliumbwa katika hali ya ouvu; maama yangu alinichukua mimba hatiani" (Zaburi 51:5).
