Biblical Concept: Corrupt
Findings:
Note the many comments following most verses and passages. The following, from them, are note worthy:
The two most significant Bible verses in the study. Always be striving to meet these: (I could intellectually make a case that Genesis 6:11-12 deserves a place on the most significant list. It will stand well on its own.)

promises, in order that by them you might become partakers of the divine
nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust. (World,
lust, corruption relationship.) (Corruption is natural to the world system.)

partakers of the divine nature.)

self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit,

4:20-25 20 But
you did not learn Christ in this way, 21
if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught in Him, just as truth is in
Jesus, 22 that, in reference
to your former manner of life, you lay aside the old self, which is being
corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit, 23 and that you be renewed in the
spirit of your mind, 24 and
put on the new self, which in the
likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the
truth. 25 Therefore, laying
aside falsehood, speak truth, each one of
you, with his neighbor, for we are members of one another.)

Corrupt
NAS Genesis 6:11-12 11Now the earth was corrupt in the
sight of God, and the earth was filled with violence. 12 And God
looked on the earth, and behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted
their way upon the earth.
Situation: Post fall, pre flood.
Situation: Angelic influences - Genesis 3:1-7; lies,
temptation, deception. Genesis 3:14-15; Angelic oppression of women and
children. Genesis 6:2-4, Angelic genetic corruption of the human species. Note below:
Ezekiel 28:17, Corrupted angels corrupt
humans. Compare Jude 6-7 and 2 Peter 2:4-5.
Situation: Humanity obtained a nature to sin. See
Genesis 3:7 and 4:6-7. See 1 John 3:12
for a possible Satanic influence on Cain.
Corrupt = the mayhem of angelic and human volition. Corruption is quite natural to the human condition.
Note
Genesis 6:5-6. Also, see Genesis 6:5-6 in Biblical Concept: The Linear
Aspect of God.
Findings: What a situation humans are born
into! Attacked by angels. Attacked by a nature to sin. Add: parental circumstances, sibling
circumstances, family circumstances, relatives, local and national
circumstances, friends and acquaintances, employment circumstances, religious
circumstances—what a situation humans are born into! Kudos to humans who overcome corruption through faith and spiritual
growth in the Lord Jesus Christ—good volitional job! (Ephesians 4:22
that, in reference to your former manner of life, you lay aside the old self,
which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit,) (2 Peter

are any who understand, Who seek after God. 3 They have all turned aside; together they have become
corrupt; There is no one who does good, not even one. (Relationship: Atheism, fool, corrupt,
