- 3:9What then? Are we better? Not at all! For we have previously charged both Jews and Greeks that they are all under sin,
- 3:10Even as it is written, "There is none righteous, not even one;
- 3:11There is none who understands, there is none who seeks out God.
- 3:12All have turned aside; together they have become useless; there is none who does good; there is not so much as one.
- 3:13Their throat is an opened grave; with their tongues they practiced deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips;
- 3:14Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.
- 3:15Swift are their feet to shed blood,
- 3:16Destruction and misery are in their ways,
- 3:17And the way of peace they have not known.
- 3:18There is no fear of God before their eyes."
- 3:19Now we know that whatever things the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped and all the world may fall under the judgment of God;
- 3:20Because out of the works of the law no flesh shall be justified before Him; for through the law is the clear knowledge of sin.
