Original Sin

From one man's fall, a wound passed to every child of Adam

Original sin names the fallen condition humanity is held to inherit from Adam's first transgression, drawn especially from Romans 5 and shaped by Augustine against Pelagius. The traditions differ on its content: the Western, Augustinian view stresses inherited guilt, while the Eastern tradition emphasizes inherited mortality and corruption rather than guilt. All agree humanity needs God's grace; they describe the inheritance differently.
