1 Corinthians 15:50

Now this I say, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor

does corruption inherit incorruption.

Galatians 6:8

For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the

Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

2 Peter 1:4

by which He has given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, so that through these things you

might become partakers of the divine nature and escape the corruption that is in the world through lust.

2 Peter 2:12

But these people are like irrational animals, born to be captured and destroyed. They speak evil of the

things that they do not understand, and in their corruption they will be destroyed.

2 Peter 2:19

Although they promise them freedom, they themselves are slaves of corruption, for by that which a man

is overcome, to this he is enslaved.

Cognate: 5356 phthorá (from 5351 /phtheírō) – destruction from internal corruption (deterioration,

decay); "rottenness, perishableness, corruption, decay, decomposition" (Souter). See 5351 (phteírō).

The heart is more deceitful than all things

and desperately wicked;

who can understand it? Jeremiah 17

Sin struggles against the Spirit. The sin nature is utterly contrary to the Spirit and beyond the

control of the person (Gal. 5:17; cf. Rom. 7:7–25). It is death to the human (Rom. 8:6, 13) and an

offense to God (Rom. 8:7–8; 1 Cor. 15:50). From it comes the epithumia, the entire range of

unholy desires (Rom. 1:24; 7:8; Titus 2:12; 1 John 2:16). Sin even dwells within the person (Rom.

7:17–24; 8:5–8) as a principle or law (Rom. 7:21, 23, 25). Actual sins begin in the sinful nature

often as the result of worldly or supernatural temptation (James 1:14–15; 1 John 2:16). One of

sin’s most insidious characteristics is that it gives rise to more sin. Sin, like the malignancy it is,

grows of itself to fatal proportions in both extent and intensity unless dealt with by the cleansing

of Christ’s blood. Sin’s self-reproduction may be seen in the Fall (Gen. 3:1–13), in Cain’s descent

from jealously to homicide (Gen. 4:1–15), and in David’s lust giving birth to adultery, murder, and

generations of suffering (2 Sam. 11 through 12). Romans 1:18–32 recounts humanity’s downward

course from the rejection of revelation to complete abandon and proselytization. Similarly, the

“seven deadly sins” (an ancient catalog of vices contrasted with parallel virtues) have been

viewed not only as root sins, but also as a descending sequence of sin.53

This process of sin’s feeding on sin is realized through many mechanisms. The ambitious author

of wickedness, Satan, is the archantagonist of this evil drama. As the ruler of this present age

(John 12:31; 14:30; 16:11; 2 Cor. 4:4; Eph. 2:2), he constantly seeks to deceive, tempt, sift, and

devour (Luke 22:31–34; 2 Cor. 11:14; 1 Thess. 3:5; 1 Pet. 5:8), even inciting the heart directly (1

Chron. 21:1). The natural inclination of the flesh, still awaiting full redemption, also plays a part.

The temptations of the world beckon the heart (James 1:2–4; 1 John 2:16). Sin often requires

more sin to reach its elusive goal, as in Cain’s attempt to hide his crime from God (Gen. 4:9). The

pleasure of sin (Heb. 11:25–26) may be self-reinforcing. Sinners provoke their victims to respond

in sin (note the contrary exhortations: Prov. 20:22; Matt. 5:38–48; 1 Thess. 5:15; 1 Pet. 3:9).

Sinners entice others into sin (Gen. 3:1–6; Ex. 32:1; 1 Kings 21:25; Prov. 1:10–14; Matt. 4:1–11;

5:19; Mark 1:12–13; Luke 4:1–13; 2 Tim. 3:6–9; 2 Pet. 2:18–19; 3:17; 1 John 2:26).54 Sinners
