Since that time, sin has been passed down through all the generations of mankind and we, Adam’s descendants, have inherited sin from him. Romans 5:12 tells us that through Adam sin entered the world, and so death was passed on to all men because “the wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23).
Tangu wakati huo, dhambi imekuwa ikipitishwa kwa vizazi vyote vya mwanadamu, na sisi kama uzao wa Adamu tumerithi dhambi kutoka kwake. Warumi 5:12 yatuambia kwamba kupitia Adamu dhambi iliingia ulimwenguni, na kwa hivyo kifo kilipitishwa kwa watu wote kwa sababu “Mshahara wa dhambi ni mauti” (Warumi 6:23)
