Total depravity means that sinful corruption “taints” every dimension of human life. Sin cannot be located or relegated to one aspect of human existence, such as the body or the mind. Depravity has tained all aspects of the sinner’s existence: the physical body…., the mind or reason……., the emotions…. and the will. Sinfull corruption exists at the center of every person’s being and infects the entirety of the person. Total depravity also means “total inability”; that is, and individual cannot extricate himself from his sinful condition. A sinner cannot by his own volition bring his life and character into conformity with the demands of God.

The term "ethical literature," applied to a type of Hebrew literature, has two different meanings. Both refer to an important part of Hebrew literature in medieval and early modern times, but while one denotes a literary form which encompasses a group of works closely resembling each other structurally, the other denotes a literary purpose expressed in various literary forms. Traditional authors generally use the term in the first sense, while the latter sense is preferred by modern scholars.
