Sin

“But being born with a sinful nature does not mean we are merely helpless victims who never personally choose evil. Although we’ve inherited sin, each of us is a sinner in his or her own right. God will judge each person according to what that person has done—not according to Adam’s deeds alone (Romans 2:6; Revelation 20:12).” - Randy Alcorn

… not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing.
