Romans 3:10-23

¹⁰Just as it is written: “There is none righteous, no not one.

¹¹There is none who understands; there is none who seeks God.

¹²All have turned aside; together they became unprofitable; there is not one doing kindness, there is not so much as one.

¹³Their throat is an opened grave; with their tongues they deceived; the poison of asps is under their lips;

¹⁴Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.

¹⁵Their feet are swift to shed blood;

¹⁶Ruin and misery are in their ways;

¹⁷and the way of peace they did not know.

¹⁸There is no fear of God before their eyes.”

¹⁹Now we know that as many things as the law says, it speaks to those under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may be held accountable to God.

²⁰Therefore by works of the law no flesh shall be justified in His sight, for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.

²¹But now the righteousness of God apart from the law has been revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets,

²²even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and upon all those that believe. For there is no distinction;

²³for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God,
