²⁹They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice.

Romans 1:29-31

I. ______________________________

“You see, it was I who killed all those people… No man’s really any good till he knows how bad he is, or might be; till he’s realized exactly how much right he has to all this snobbery, and sneering, and talking about ‘criminals,’ as if they were apes in a forest ten thousand miles away… till he’s squeezed out of his soul the last drop of the oil of the Pharisees; till his only hope is somehow or other to have captured one criminal, and kept him safe and sane under his own hat.” Father Brown by G. K. Chesterton

…for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God… Romans 3:23

“In each of us there is sin – not just the susceptibility to sin, but sin itself.” Augustine

Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago
