9So then, are we Jews better than others? Definitely not! Remember that we've already argued that both Jews and foreigners are under the control of sin.
10As Scripture says, “No one does what is right, not even one.
11No one understands; no one seeks God.
12Everyone has turned their backs on him; everyone does what is totally wrong. No one does what is good, not a single one.
13Their throats are like an open grave; their tongues spread deceit; their lips ooze with the venom of snakes.
14Their mouths are full of bitterness and curses,
15and they are quick to cause pain and death.
16Their way leads to disaster and misery;
17they don't know how to live in peace.
18They don't care about respecting God at all.”
