The Words 'sin nature' in Scripture

[Dave...]

Romans 7:18 and Galatians 5:17 Neither one actually says "sin nature' in the Greek. These words never appear together in Scripture as far as a I know.

No doubt, we're naturally in bad shape separated from God, but is the term 'sin nature' misleading in any way as to the truth of our natural state as it is being taught in Scripture?

Is it really a nature?

Ephesians 2:3
Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
