Sin

Not justified by law

Romans 3:20  

Therefore no one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin.

All have sinned

Romans 3:23  

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

Gospel is veiled, eyes blinded

2 Corinthians 4:3-4  

3 And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing.

4 The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

Cursed are those who do not abide by the law

Galatians 3:10  

All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.”

Children of wrath

Ephesians 2:3

All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature objects of wrath.

State of the unbeliever

Ephesians 4:17-19  

17 So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking.

18 They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts.

19 Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, with a continual lust for more.
