Romans 3:9-20

9What then? are we better than they ? No, in no way: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;1 10As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: 11There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh God. 12They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. 13Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: 14Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: 15Their feet are swift to shed blood: 16Destruction and misery are in their ways: 17And the way of peace have they not known: 18There is no fear of God before their eyes.

19Now we know that whatever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.2 20Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
