It is because of our spiritually blind and ignorant hearts, our way of thinking that is within us, that we are distanced from God. In line with this, Gal.5:19 speaks of our sins as "the works of the flesh"; it is our own flesh, our very being and nature, which causes us to commit sin.
Ni kwa sababu ya upofu wa kiroho na ujinga wa mioyo, njia zetu za kufikiri zilizo ndani yetu, ndizo zimetuweka mbali na Mungu. Pamoja na mstari huu, Gal. 5:19 unasema dhambi zetu kuwa ni"Matendo ya mwili"; ni mwili wetu wenyewe, utu wetu kabisa na umbo, ndivyo hutufanya tutende dhambi.
