Romans 3:9-19

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.

¹⁹Now we know that whatever the things the law says, it speaks to those under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world be under judgment to God.
