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 noG3756 righteousG1342 personG1342, not evenG3761 oneG1520;11There is noG3756 one who understandsG4920, There is noG3756 one who seeksG1567 outG1567 GodG2316;12They have allG3956 turnedG1578 asideG1578, togetherG260 they have becomeG889 7corruptG889; There is noG3756 one who doesG4160 goodG5544, There is not evenG2193 oneG1520.”13“8Their throatG2995 is an openG455 graveG5028, With their tonguesG1100 they keep deceivingG1387,” “9The venomG2447 of 10aspsG785 is underG5259 their lipsG5491”;14“11TheirG3739 mouthG4750 is fullG1073 of cursingG685 and bitternessG4088”;15“12Their feetG4228 are swiftG3691 to shedG1632 bloodG129,16DestructionG4938 and miseryG5004 are in their pathsG3598,17And they have not knownG1097 the wayG3598 of peaceG1515.”18“13There is noG3756 fearG5401 of GodG2316 beforeG561 their eyesG3788.”

19NowG1161 we knowG3609 that whateverG3745 the 14LawG3551 saysG3004, it speaksG2980 to 15thoseG3588 who are 16underG1722 the LawG3551, soG2443 thatG2443 everyG3956 mouthG4750 may be closedG5420 and 17allG3956 the worldG2889 may becomeG1096 accountableG5267 to GodG2316; 20becauseG1360 18by the worksG2041 19of the LawG3551 20noneG3756G3956 of mankindG4561 will be justifiedG1344 inG1799 His sightG1799; for 2122throughG1223 the LawG3551 comes 23knowledgeG1922 of sinG266.

21But nowG3570 apartG5565 24from the LawG3551 25the righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316 has been revealedG5319, being 26witnessedG3140 by the 27LawG3551 and the ProphetsG4396, 22but it is the 28righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316 throughG1223 29faithG4102 30in JesusG2424 ChristG5547 for 31allG3956 thoseG3588 32who believeG4100; for 33there is noG3756 distinctionG1293, 23for allG3956 3435have sinnedG264 and fallG5302 shortG5302 of the gloryG1391 of GodG2316, 24being justifiedG1344 as a giftG1432 36by His graceG5485 throughG1223 37the redemptionG629 which is in ChristG5547 JesusG2424,
