All Have
Sinned
Romans 3:9-20
9 What
then? Are we better than they? Not at all. For we have previously charged
both Jews and Greeks that they are all under sin.
10 As it is written:
“There is none righteous, no, not one;
11 There is none who understands; There is none
who seeks after God. 12 They have all turned aside;
They have together become unprofitable; There is none who does good,
no, not one.” 13 “ Their throat is an open tomb; With their tongues
they have practiced deceit”;
“The poison of asps is under their
lips; Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness. Their feet are
swift to shed blood; 16 Destruction and misery
are in their ways; And the way of peace they have not known. There is
no fear of God before their eyes.”
"Now we know that whatever the
law says, it says to those who are under the law, that every mouth may
be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. 20
Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His
sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin."
