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.

There are two types of sin mentioned. One does not lead to death and the other one does. The sin that does not lead to death is the one that is repented of and forgiven. The sin that leads to death is the one that is not repented of or forgiven. So the only sin that does not lead to death is the sin that is forgiven. 1John:5:17: All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.

What are three essential elements that make a sin mortal?

All sin is mortal (define:mortal - subject to death) Sin in its very nature is worthy of death. (James 1:15, Romans 5:12, Romans 6:23) Vicarious atonement would render the sin "already paid for" I John 5:16-17 speaks of sins that are not mortal. The key is I John 5:18, so there is only one essential element that makes sin mortal... 1) The sin is mortal and leads to death if one is not born of God. Being born of God means that you have been redeemed from the curse of the law. The unredeemed will die for their sin because they do not have a vicarious substitute who died for their sins.
