Original sin stands not in the following of Adam (as the Pelagians do vainly talk), but it is the fault and corruption of the nature of every man that naturally is descended from the offspring of Adam, whereby man is very far gone from original righteousness, and is of his own nature inclined to evil, so that the flesh lusts always contrary to the spirit; and therefore in every person born into this world, it deserves God’s wrath and damnation. And this infection of nature does remain, indeed, in them that are regenerated, whereby the lust of the flesh, called in Greek phronōema sarkos (which some do expound the wisdom, some sensuality, some the affection, some the desire of the flesh), is not subject to the law of God. And although there is no condemnation for them that arelieve and are baptized, yet the Apostle does confess that concupiscence and lust have of itself the nature of sin.
