Romans 3:10-23
10as it is written, “aThere is none righteous, not even one;
11There is none who understands,There is none who seeks for God;12All have turned aside, together they have become worthless;There is none who does good,There is not even one.”13“aTheir throat is an open tomb,With their tongues they keep deceiving,”“bThe poison of asps is under their lips”;14“aWhose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness”;15“aTheir feet are swift to shed blood,16Destruction and misery are in their paths,17And the path of peace they have not known.”18“aThere is no fear of God before their eyes.”19Now we know that whatever the aLaw says, it speaks to bthose who are in the Law, so that every mouth may be shut and call the world may become accountable to God; 20because aby the works 1of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for 2,bthrough the Law comes the knowledge of sin.
