According to the Bible, all humans are sinners, and Mary is no exception. Romans 3

"All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,"

and 1 John 1 adds, "If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us."

In Luke 1, Mary says, "My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior," indicating that she recognized her need for a savior, implying she was a sinner.

Furthermore, Mary and Joseph offered sacrifices in the temple, which is a practice associated with sinners needing purification.

The Catholic doctrine of the Immaculate Conception, which teaches that Mary was conceived without original sin, is not directly supported by the Bible. Even the Catholic Encyclopedia acknowledges that "no direct or categorical proof of the dogma can be brought forward from Scripture."
