9If someone would ask, “ Shall we conclude that God will treat us Jews more favorably and will treat the non-Jews less favorably RHQ?” I would reply that we can certainly not conclude that! I have already shown you that all people, the Jews and also the non-Jews, have sinned and so they deserve to be punished { that God will punish them} PRS.
10The following words that are written {prophets have written} in the Scriptures support this, No person is righteous. There is not even one righteous person!
11There is no one who understands how to live properly (OR, about God). There is no one who seeks/desires to know God!
12Absolutely everyone has turned away MET from God. God considers them depraved (OR, Everyone has become useless to God). There is no one who acts righteously; no, there is not even one!
13What people say MTY is foul/bad, like the smell that comes from a grave that has been {that people have} opened MET. By what people say MTY, they deceive people. By what they say MTY they injure people, just like the poison of snakes injures people MET.
14They are continually ◄cursing/asking God to do harmful things to► others and saying ◄cruel/harsh/hateful► things MTY.
15They ◄go quickly/are eager► to murder people MTY.
16Wherever they go, they ruin everything and make people miserable MTY.
17They have not/never known how to live peacefully with other people.
18They absolutely refuse to fear/reverence God SYN!
19Furthermore, we know that it is to Jewish people, who are required to obey God's laws, that Moses wrote those laws PRS. We can infer from this that there are no Jews or non-Jews SYN who are able to say anything in reply to God's saying that he will punish them for having sinned. God has declared everyone in the world MTY guilty!
