Scripture Commentaries
We sin by nature, choice, and practice.
By nature, Eph 2:3 says because we fulfill desires of the flesh, we were by nature children of God's wrath.
By choice, Rom 6:16 says to whom we choose to yield our bodies to obey, we will be servants to, "...to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness?
By practice, 1 John 3:8 says "Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil...."
Whichever way, anyone indulges in sin, there is no excuse available to him/her, to justify him/herself.
