they are stupid children;
they have no understanding.
(B)They are ‘wise’—in doing evil!
But how to do good they know not.”
Titus 3:3

6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise,[a] she took of its fruit (A)and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, (B)and he ate. 7 (C)Then the eyes of both were opened, (D)and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loincloths.

English Standard Version
2 (A)in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following (B)the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in (C)the sons of disobedience— 3 among whom we all once lived in (D)the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body[a] and the mind, and (E)were by nature (F)children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.[b]

Romans 3:9-19
English Standard Version
No One Is Righteous
9 What then? Are we Jews[a] any better off?[b] No, not at all. For we have already charged that all, both (A)Jews and (B)Greeks, are (C)under sin, 10 as it is written:
(D)“None is righteous, no, not one;
11 no one understands;
no one seeks for God.
12 All have turned aside; together they have become worthless;
no one does good,
not even one.”
13 (E)“Their throat is (F)an open grave;
they use their tongues to deceive.”
(G)“The venom of asps is under their lips.”
14 (H)“Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness.”
15 (I)“Their feet are swift to shed blood;
16 in their paths are ruin and misery,
17 and (J)the way of peace they have not known.”
18 (K)“There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
19 Now we know that whatever (L)the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, (M)so that every mouth may be stopped, and (N)the whole world may be held accountable to God.

Romans 1:21-32
English Standard Version
21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they (A)became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 (B)Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23 and (C)exchanged the glory of (D)the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.
24 Therefore (E)God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to (F)the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, 25 because they exchanged the truth about God for (G)a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, (H)who is blessed forever! Amen.
26 For this reason (I)God gave them up to (J)dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; 27 and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, (K)men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, (L)God gave them up to (M)a debased mind to do (N)what ought not to be done. 29 They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32 Though they know (O)God's righteous decree that those who practice such things (P)deserve to die, they not only do them but (Q)give approval to those who practice them.

40 saying to Aaron, (A)‘Make for us gods who will go before us. As for this Moses who led us out from the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.’ 41 And (B)they made a calf in those days, and offered a sacrifice to the idol and (C)were rejoicing in (D)the works of their hands. 42 But (E)God turned away and (F)gave them over to worship (G)the host of heaven, as it is written in the book of the prophets:
(H)“‘Did you bring to me slain beasts and sacrifices,
(I)during the forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?
43 You took up the tent of (J)Moloch
and the star of your god Rephan,
the images that you made to worship;
and I will send you into exile beyond Babylon.’

6 “Behold, (A)the princes of Israel in you, every one according to his power, have been bent on shedding blood. 7 Father and mother (B)are treated with contempt in you; the sojourner (C)suffers extortion in your midst; the fatherless and the widow (D)are wronged in you. 8 (E)You have despised my holy things and (F)profaned my Sabbaths. 9 (G)There are men in you who slander to shed blood, and people in you (H)who eat on the mountains; (I)they commit lewdness in your midst. 10 In you (J)men uncover their fathers' nakedness; in you they violate women who are unclean in their menstrual impurity. 11 (K)One commits abomination with his neighbor's wife; (L)another lewdly defiles his daughter-in-law; (M)another in you violates his sister, his father's daughter. 12 In you (N)they take bribes to shed blood; (O)you take interest and profit[a] and make gain of your neighbors by extortion; but (P)me you have forgotten, declares the Lord God.
13 “Behold, (Q)I strike my hand at (R)the dishonest gain that you have made, and at (S)the blood that has been in your midst.
