William Branham often quoted the Bible as saying: "We're borned in sin, shaped in iniquity, come to the world speaking lies."

But this verse is no where to be found in the Bible.

What the Bible actually says

William Branham is actually misquoting two verses and then putting the misquoted passages together to form something that the Bible never says:

Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you may be justified in your words and blameless in your judgment. Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me. Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being, and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart.[1]

No, in your hearts you devise wrongs; your hands deal out violence on earth. The wicked are estranged from the womb; they go astray from birth, speaking lies.[2]
