Romans 3:9–23

⁹What then? Do we excel them? No, not so. For we have charged both Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin.

¹⁰As it is written: There is not any man just.

¹¹There is none that understandeth: there is none that seeketh after God.

¹²All have turned out of the way: they are become unprofitable together: there is none that doth good, there is not so much as one.

¹³Their throat is an open sepulchre: with their tongues they have dealt deceitfully. The venom of asps is under their lips.

¹⁴Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:

¹⁵Their feet swift to shed blood:

¹⁶Destruction and misery in their ways:

¹⁷And the way of peace they have not known.

¹⁸There is no fear of God before their eyes.

¹⁹Now we know that what things soever the law speaketh, it speaketh to them that are in the law: that every mouth may be stopped and all the world may be made subject to God.

²⁰Because by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified before him. For by the law is the knowledge of sin.

²¹But now, without the law, the justice of God is made manifest, being witnessed by the law and the prophets.

²²Even the justice of God, by faith of Jesus Christ, unto all, and upon all them that believe in him: for there is no distinction.

²³For all have sinned and do need the glory of God.
