"If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves" — the Bible's honesty about sin is the premise its whole rescue plan rests on. These verses define it before they treat it. The fifteen verses below are the Bible's direct address to that situation, shown in full KJV text from Psalms 14:3 to 1 John 3:4.
Quick answer: The best-known verse about sin here is Psalms 14:3: "They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one." Psalms 19:13 follows close behind: "Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression." Both are public-domain translations, shown in full on the cards below with a modern-English toggle.

Each card toggles between the King James Version and the World English Bible; the modern renderings sometimes blunt or sharpen a warning, which is worth seeing before deciding what a verse requires. Copy the verse that names the current battle — and the one that names the provision, because the Bible never gives the first without the second.
