I believe you are speaking about Romans 5:12, which reads, "that is why, just as through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men because they had all sinned." This text helps us to see how Adam's sin effected all of his offspring. God warned both Adam and Eve in Genesis 2:17 that if they were to eat the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and bad, then they would positively die the day they ate from it. Later in Genesis 3:6, both Adam and Eve ate from the tree. Adam truly "sold" himself and all of us, his offspring, into slavery to sin and death as brought out in Romans 7:14. Adam and Eve willfully chose to give up their perfect everlasting life, and therefore died. Just like a dented bread pan that makes a loaf of bread with an imperfection, so do we have sin and pass it down. However, we have hope for one day attaining ever lasting life in a perfect state, because of Jesus' ransom sacrifice. Hence, in Romans 5:19, it is made clear that we were given a second chance. More importantly that second chance will be here on earth (Psalm 37:11). For further information you may request a publication entitled "What Does The Bible Really Teach?" published by Jehovah's Witnesses. Chapter 5 speaks about how sin entered the world.

Roman Catholic AnswerNo, "He who knows his brother is committing a sin that is not until death, shall ask, and shall give life to him who does not commit a sin unto death. There is a sin unto death; I do not mean that anyone should ask as to that." 1 St. John 5:16 (Douay-Rheims) The sin unto death is mortal, the sin not unto death is venial. Venial is the Church's word for it, but the construct is Biblical, read St. John's first letter.
