Romans 3:9-12
New American Standard Bible
9 What then? [a](A)Are we better than they? Not at all; for we have already charged that both (B)Jews and (C)Greeks are (D)all under sin; 10 as it is written:
“(E)There is no righteous person, not even one;
11 There is no one who understands,
There is no one who seeks out God;
12 They have all turned aside, together they have become [b]corrupt;
There is no one who does good,
There is not even one.”

Romans 3:19-23
New American Standard Bible
19 Now we know that whatever the (A)Law says, it speaks to (B)those who are [a]under the Law, so that every mouth may be closed and (C)all the world may become accountable to God; 20 because (D)by the works [b]of the Law [c]none of mankind will be justified in His sight; for [d](E)through the Law comes [e]knowledge of sin.
Justification by Faith
21 But now apart [f]from the Law (F)the righteousness of God has been revealed, being (G)witnessed by the [g]Law and the Prophets, 22 but it is the (H)righteousness of God through (I)faith (J)in Jesus Christ for (K)all those [h]who believe; for (L)there is no distinction, 23 for all [i](M)have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
