Romans 3:9-24

9WhatG5101 thenG3767? 12Are we betterG4284 than they? Not at allG3843; for we have alreadyG4256 chargedG4256 that bothG5037 3JewsG2453 and 4GreeksG1672 are 5allG3956 underG5259 sinG266; 10as it is writtenG1125, “6There is noneG3756 righteousG1342, not evenG3761 oneG1520;11There is noneG3756 who understandsG4920, There is noneG3756 who seeksG1567 for GodG2316;12AllG3956 have turnedG1578 asideG1578, togetherG260 they have becomeG889 uselessG889; There is noneG3756 who doesG4160 goodG5544, There is not evenG2193 oneG1520.”13“7Their throatG2995 is an openG455 graveG5028, With their tonguesG1100 they keep deceivingG1387,” “8The poisonG2447 of aspsG785 is underG5259 their lipsG5491”;14“9WhoseG3739 mouthG4750 is fullG1073 of cursingG685 and bitternessG4088”;15“10Their feetG4228 are swiftG3691 to shedG1632 bloodG129,16DestructionG4938 and miseryG5004 are in their pathsG3598,17And the pathG3598 of peaceG1515 they have not knownG1097.”18“11There is noG3756 fearG5401 of GodG2316 beforeG561 their eyesG3788.”

19NowG1161 we knowG3609 that whateverG3745 the 12LawG3551 saysG3004, it speaksG2980 to 13thoseG3588 who are 14underG1722 the LawG3551, soG2443 that everyG3956 mouthG4750 may be closedG5420 and 15allG3956 the worldG2889 may becomeG1096 accountableG5267 to GodG2316; 20becauseG1360 16by the worksG2041 17of the LawG3551 noG3756G3956 fleshG4561 will be justifiedG1344 in His sightG1799; for 1819throughG1223 the LawG3551 comes the knowledgeG1922 of sinG266.

21But nowG3570 apartG5565 20from the LawG3551 21the righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316 has been manifestedG5319, being 22witnessedG3140 by the LawG3551 and the ProphetsG4396, 22evenG1161 the 23righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316 throughG1223 24faithG4102 25in JesusG2424 ChristG5547 for 26allG3956 thoseG3588 27who believeG4100; for 28there is noG3756 distinctionG1293; 23for allG3956 2930have sinnedG264 and fallG5302 shortG5302 of the gloryG1391 of GodG2316, 24being justifiedG1344 as a giftG1431 31by His graceG5485 throughG1223 32the redemptionG629 which is in ChristG5547 JesusG2424;
