Context of Romans 3:11
9What then? are we better? No, in no wise: for we have before charged both Jews and Greeks with being all under sin: 10according as it is written, There is not a righteous [man], not even one; there is not the [man] that understands, there is not one that seeks after God. 12All have gone out of the way, they have together become unprofitable; there is not one that practises goodness, there is not so much as one: 13their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; asps' poison [is] under their lips:

Commentaries on Romans 3:11
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 11There is none that understandeth - In the Hebrew Psalm 14:2, God is represented as looking down from heaven to see, that is, to make investigation, whether there were any that understood or sought after him.

He looks down from heaven for this very purpose, to ascertain…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 9-18Verses 9-18 Here again is shown that all mankind are under the guilt of sin, as a burden; and under the government and dominion of sin, as enslaved to it, to work wickedness. This is made plain by several passages of Scripture from the Old Testament, which describe the corrupt and depraved state of all men, till grace restrain or change them. Great as our advantages are, these texts describe multitudes who call themselves Christians. Their principles and…Read the comment

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 10-1210-12. As it is written, &c.--(Psa 14:1-3; 53:1-3). These statements of the Psalmist were indeed suggested by particular manifestations of human depravity occurring under his own eye; but as this only showed what man, when unrestrained, is in his present condition, they were quite pertinent to the apostle's purpose.Read the comment
