Ps.
14.1-3
To the choirmaster. Of David. The fool says in his heart,
"There is no God." They are corrupt, they do abominable
deeds, there is none that does good. The LORD looks down from
heaven upon the children of men, to see if there are any that act
wisely, that seek after God. They have all gone astray, they are
all alike corrupt; there is none that does good, no, not one.
Prov.
20.9
Who can say, "I have made my heart clean; I am
pure from my sin"?
heart is deceitful above all things
Jer.
17.9
The heart is deceitful above all things, and
desperately corrupt; who can understand it?
no righteousness will be remembered if you sin
Ez.
23.20
Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his
righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling-block
before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him
warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness
which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I
require at thine hand.
Ez.
33.13
When I shall say to the righteous, that he shall
surely live; if he trust to his own righteousness, and commit
iniquity, all his righteousnesses shall not be remembered; but
for his iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die
for it
righteousness as dirty rags
Isa.
64.6
We have all become like one who is unclean, and all
our righteous deeds are like a polluted garment. We all fade
like a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.
Rom.
3.23
since all have sinned and fall short of the glory of
God,
Rom.
5.12, 15-19
Therefore as sin came into the world through one man
and death through sin, and so death spread to all
men because all men sinned--
But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died
through one man's trespass, much more have the
grace of God and the free gift in the grace of that one man Jesus
Christ abounded for many. And the free gift is not like the
effect of that one man's sin. For the judgment following one
trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift following many
trespasses brings justification. If, because of one man's
trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will
those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of
righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus
Christ. Then as one man's trespass led to condemnation for
all men, so one man's act of righteousness leads to acquittal and
life for all men. For as by one man's disobedience many were made
sinners, so by one man's obedience many will be made righteous.
natural man cannot
understand because he is dead
1Cor.
2.14
The unspiritual man does not receive the gifts of the Spirit
of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to
understand them because they are spiritually discerned.
Eph.
2.1,5
And you he made alive, when you were dead through the
trespasses and sins...
even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive
together with Christ (by grace you have
been saved),
Col.
2.13
And you, who were dead in trespasses and the
uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him,
having forgiven us all our trespasses,
unbelievers blind and
cannot see
2Cor 4.4
In their case the god of this world has blinded the
minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of
the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the likeness of God.
John 3.3
Jesus answered him, "Truly, truly, I say to
you, unless one is born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of
God."

you cannot bear to hear my word.
message of cross is
foolishness to those that are perishing

perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of
God.

Ex. 20.5
you shall not bow down to them or serve them; for I the LORD
your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers
upon the children to the third and the fourth generation of those
who hate me,
if we say we have no sin
we lie
1John
1.8,10

the truth is not in us. -
If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is
not in us.

Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin
did my mother conceive me.

sheep.

Of those born of women - Christ alone is holy
Augustine (354-430 AD): Moreover, when expounding the Gospel according to Luke, he says: "It was no cohabitation with a husband which opened the secrets of the Virgin’s womb; rather was it the Holy Ghost which infused immaculate seed into her unviolated womb. For the Lord Jesus alone of those who are born of woman is holy, inasmuch as He experienced not the contact of earthly corruption, by reason of the novelty of His immaculate birth; nay, He repelled it by His heavenly majesty."
