All mankind by their fall lost communion with God, are under his wrath and curse, and so made liable to all miseries in this life, to death itself, and to the pains of hell for ever.
Death is threefold:
First, spiritual death, the separation of the sinner from God.
Second, physical death, the separation of the soul from the body.
Third, eternal death, the abandonment of the soul in hell.

Ephesians 2:3 (ESV)
among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.
Galatians 3:10 (ESV)
“Cursed be everyone who does not abide by all things written in the Book of the Law, and do them.”
Romans 6:23, Matthew 25:41 (ESV)
