But, true though my conclusions may be, I do not like to think of that period as part of the same life I now lead, because it is dim and forgotten and, in this sense, it is no different from the time I spent in my mother's womb. But if I was born in sin and guilt was with me already when my mother conceived me,2 where, I ask you, Lord, where or when was I, your servant, ever innocent?
Sinful from the womb.
