Romans 3:9-18
Modern English Version
There Is None Righteous
9 What then? Are we better than they? No, not at all. For we have already charged that both Jews and Gentiles are all under sin. 10 As it is written:
“There is none righteous, no, not one;[a]
11 there is no one who understands;
there is no one who seeks after God.[b]
12 They have all turned aside;
together they have become worthless;
there is no one who does good,
no, not one.”[c]
13 “Their throats are an open grave;
with their tongues they have used deceit”;
“the poison of vipers is under their lips”;[d]
14 “their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”[e]
15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood;[f]
16 destruction and misery are in their paths;[g]
17 and they do not know the way of peace.”[h]
18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”[i]
