Jesus also branded human nature as fundamentally evil in Mt.7:11. Ecc.9:3 (Hebrew text) could not be plainer: "The heart of the sons of men is full of evil". Eph.4:18 gives the reason for man's natural alienation from God as being "through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart".
Naye Yesu alitia alama pia mwili wa mwanadamu kwa asili ni mbaya katika Math. 7:11; Mhubiri 9:3 (andiko la Kiebrania) halikuweza kuwa wazi;"Moyo wa wanadamu umejaa uovu", Efe. 4:18 inatoa sababu ya mtu asili ya kutengwa toka kwa Mungu kuwa ni "kwa sababu ya ujinga uliomo ndani yao, kwa sababu ya ugumu wa mioyo yao".
