"all adam's descendants are sinners" vs "Jesus no propensity to evil" - how to reconcile?

 a way to reconcile 'children propensities' vs 'Jesus child no propensities'? general vs specific. e.g. "all have sinned" (rom 3:23), doesn't include Jesus, because there is specific description of Jesus has having no sin (hb 4:5, 2 cor 5:21, 1pt 2:22, 1jn 3:5). e.g. "all flesh died" (gen 7:22) in the flood, but doesn't include noah immediate family, because there is specific mention (gen 7:23) that they did not die.
