Genesis 5:1-5

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Genesis 5:5

And many natural reasons might be given why their lives were then longer than afterwards. read more

By the phrase, human depravity, we mean that corruption of our nature, whereby we are inclined to sin rather than to holiness.
