Romans 3:9-19

⁹What then? Are we better than others? By no means! For we have already brought a charge both against Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin.

¹⁰As it is written: “There is none righteous, no, not one;

¹¹there is none that hath understanding, there is none that diligently seeketh God;

¹²they have all turned aside from the right way, they have become worthless together; there is none that doeth good, not even one.

¹³Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have practised deceit. The poison of asps is under their lips.

¹⁴Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.

¹⁵Swift are their feet to shed blood;

¹⁶destruction and misery are in their ways;

¹⁷and the way of peace they know not.

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

¹⁹Now we know that whatever the Law saith, it saith to those who are under the Law; that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world become subject to condemnation before God.
