All men are sinners, we do not need to inherit sin. It is death we inherit. When Adam sinned he became subject to death and that is the image he passed on to us.
- Romans 5:12 KJV Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
- Romans 5:17 KJV For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
- 1 Corinthians 15:26 KJV The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
