Words for “sin” vary according to english translations and context Ungodliness, transgression, trespass, iniquity, unrighteousness, and others The bible also speaks of “the flesh,” which is the evil root of all sin, the depravity transmitted from adam to all his children. The ultimate—and severest—consequence of sin is death
The bible says that “the wages of sin is death” (romans 6:23a) This not only refers to physical death but to eternal separation from god “but your iniquities have separated you from your god Your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear” (isaiah 59:2) This is the foremost consequence of man’s rebellion.
