There is none. Sin came because of a bad choice.

When Jesus healed the man in the temple He looks at the man and said, "thy sins be forgiven",immediately the scribes and Pharisees rebuked Him and said no man hath the power to forgive sin, but God only.Jesus then looked upon the man and said be healed.Then was the man healed.He then looked upon the scribes and Pharisees and said which is easier to say thy sins be forgiven or be thou healed.What Jesus was doing here was showing the people that He didn't just heal the body, but took care of what caused the body to be sick in the first place.That is why it tells us in James that we are to call on the elders if we are sick.They will pray for us and we will be healed and (if we have sin it will be forgiven).Matthew 9:1-6,Mark 2:3-11,James 6:14-15.Sin is the fountain of all our affirmatives,forgiveness of sin is the foundation to all healing.



PS.
I guess I didn't understand your question and not sure I do now either,but if you think sickness came before sin you are totally wrong.Your scripture says the wages of sin is death.Sin here comes before death.When we sin there is a cost involved and that is death.Its like getting fined for speeding.You don't have to pay the fine until you first speed.The wages of speeding is a fine.

There is a story of a man born blind In John 9, that ask the question whether the man that was blind sinned or his parents. People often blame sickness on sin. In some cases this is true but not in all. But sin came in to the world because Adam ate the fruit that eve brought him. Read Genesis 3.

Looking for "A" scripture to "SUPPORT" a notion is a very dangerous thing to do. It is far better to approach the subject with the notion, "What say the SCRIPTURES?" [plural] and note that it should be not "How can I support my position," but "what is the actual meaning?" This can only be discerned by looking at the entire passage it resides in, the historical context, the people to whom it was written, and then comparing and contrasting to what the rest of the Bible says about it.

Lastly, you should seriously seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit on this, because you can easily be misled otherwise.

sin came into the world because of poor choices, and choosing to follow our own desires instead of God. Sickness and death was caused by sin, not the other way around.

Sin came into the world because of our G_d given free will that the first man miss used. He allowed the temptation to become an action

Sin came into the world because of disobedience not sickness. Sickness was part of the punishment for disobeying God, as was death, and pain

When Jesus healed a paralyzed man, he told him his sins were forgiven. When the Pharisees got mad about it, Jesus said :Which is easier, to say your sins are forgiven, or get up and walk...and then he healed him. So it shows that sickness is in our world because of sin.
Mark 2: 3-12

sickness is not the cause of sin. God placed Adam and Eve in the garden of eden, He told them that they could eat of anything there except they could not eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. The bible tells us that Eve did begile Adam to eat and he did eat and they knew they were unclothed. When they disobeyed Gods only rule they brought sin into the world. That is why they were cast out of the garden. Read the first chapter in the book of Genesis.

I think you asked your question backwards. Sickness came into the world because of sin, not the other way around.

Deuteronomy 28:58 "If you are not careful to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that you may fear this glorious and awesome name, the LORD your God, 59 then the LORD will bring on you and your offspring extraordinary afflictions, afflictions severe and lasting, and sicknesses grievous and lasting. 60 And he will bring upon you again all the diseases of Egypt, of which you were afraid, and they shall cling to you. 61 Every sickness also and every affliction that is not recorded in the book of this law, the LORD will bring upon you, until you are destroyed.
