    religious piety. But despite these supposedly virtuous qualities‚ in the Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter‚ we are shown how twisted this model of society is. The people torment Hester‚ but refuse to see that their beloved minister carries the same sin in his heart; in fact‚ they revere him all the more for it.

    states that we all came into the world as sinners: "Behold‚ I was brought forth in iniquity‚ and in sin my mother conceived me." Ephesians 2:3 also says that we are all "by nature children of wrath." Nevertheless‚ God did not create the human race sinful‚ but upright; but we fell into sin and became sinful due to the sin of Adam.
