13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. 14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. 15 Then, (A)when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, (B)brings forth death.

10 As it is written:

(A)“There is none righteous, no, not one;
11 There is none who understands;
There is none who seeks after God.
12 They have all turned aside;
They have together become unprofitable;
There is none who does good, no, not one.”
13 “Their(B) throat is an open [a]tomb;
With their tongues they have practiced deceit”;
(C)“The poison of asps is under their lips”;
14 “Whose(D) mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.”
15 “Their(E) feet are swift to shed blood;
16 Destruction and misery are in their ways;
17 And the way of peace they have not known.”
18 “There(F) is no fear of God before their eyes.”

19 Now we know that whatever (G)the law says, it says to those who are under the law, that (H)every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become [b]guilty before God.
