According to 2 Peter 2:19 and Romans 6:16, what does sin do to sinners?
In order to illustrate the devastating power of sin, Paul sometimes personifies it as a tyrant. It “entered the world through one man” (Rom. 5:12, NIV), reigns over humans in death (Rom. 5:21, 6:12), deceives (Rom. 7:11), dwells in humans (vs. 17), enslaves (Rom. 6:20), and produces death (Rom. 7:13). The sin of Adam and Eve was unique in that it resulted in the subjection of everything to its corrupting power. Satan became the prince of this world (John 12:31, 14:30). In their search for autonomy, Adam and Eve exchanged the Lordship of God for the enslaving and corrupting lordship of Satan. Sin became a universal power from which human beings have not been able to escape by themselves (Rom. 5:12).
According to Romans 3:9–18, what has been the situation of the human race under the reign of sin?

Sin becomes our prime motive and rules over us as a master rules of his slaves ruthlessly. Since the fall, sin has become like metal shards and we are a huge magnet, hopelessly drawn to sin and sin again.

We are all sinners. Not one person on earth is righteous. We are born a sinful person & it follows us like a plague. All of creation has been tainted by it.
