He could pick a scripture for either answer. Anyone could. Here, let me try.

Matthew 18:3. "The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him."
Ezekiel 18:20.
2. Unrighteous. "Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me."
Psalm 51:5. "The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies."
