²³ For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

²³ For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

² For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.

³ For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.

⁴ For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
