Romans 3:10-19
International Standard Version
10 As it is written,
“Not even one person is righteous.
11 No one understands.
No one searches for God.
12 All have turned away.
They have become completely worthless.
No one shows kindness, not even one person![a]
13 Their throats are open graves.
With their tongues they deceive.[b]
The venom of poisonous snakes is under their lips.[c]
14 Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.[d]
15 They run swiftly[e] to shed blood.
16 Ruin and misery characterize their lives.
17 They have not learned the path to peace.[f]
18 They don’t fear God.[g]
19 Now we know that whatever the Law says applies to those who are under the Law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God.
