9What then? are we better? No, in no wise: for we have before charged both Jews and Greeks with being all under sin:
10according as it is written, There is not a righteous man, not even one;
11there is not the man that understands, there is not one that seeks after God.
12All have gone out of the way, they have together become unprofitable; there is not one that practises goodness, there is not so much as one:
13their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; asps' poison is under their lips:
14whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness;
15swift their feet to shed blood;
16ruin and misery are in their ways,
17and way of peace they have not known:
18there is no fear of God before their eyes.
