Original sin (read more) is a concept, about Adam and Eve's fall from Grace, and eviction from the Garden of Eden. As detailed in the Old Testament.
It is not a phrase used in the Bible.
In fact, some Jewish groups rather resent it; seeing it as an imposition of a Christian theological view upon what was, after all, events in a sacred Jewish text. St. Augustine, alive 354-430 AD is the thinker credited with the Original Sin idea. Augustine lived long after Jesus was around, and the New Testament (Christian Bible) itself was written.
The Doctrine of Original Sin is not accepted by all Christian denominations; not in the Eastern Orthodox Churches, for instance. In contrast, other sects not only accept all of Augustine's ideas, but see them as leading logically to the concept of predestination (God knows since before you were born if you will be saved).
