Romans 3:9–23

No, in no wise: for we have before proved both ^pJews and ^qGentiles, that ^rthey are all under sin; ¹⁰as it is written, ^sThere is none righteous, no, not one: ¹¹there is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. ¹²They are all gone out of the way, they are together ^tbecome unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. ^13uTheir throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; ^xthe poison of asps is under their lips: ^14ywhose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: ^15zatheir feet are swift to shed blood: ¹⁶destruction and misery are in their ways: ¹⁷and the way of peace have they not known: ^18bthere is no fear of God before their eyes. ¹⁹Now we know that what things soever ^cthe law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that ^devery mouth may be stopped, and ^eall the world may become guilty before God. ^20fTherefore ^gby the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for ^hby the law is the knowledge of sin.

²¹But now ⁱthe righteousness of God ^jwithout the law is manifested, being witnessed by ^klthe law and ^lmthe prophets; ²²even the righteousness of God which is ⁿby faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for ^othere is no difference: ²³for ^eall have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
