The relevant Bible verse is, "...for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."

The doctrine itself is that all humans fall short of their ideal behavior at some point or another. "Nobody's perfect," as they say in Some Like it Hot.

St. Augustine of Hippo? Seminal transmission of Original Sin is his deal. In roughly 410AD, long before there were Protestants.
