Romans 3:10-19
Holman Christian Standard Bible
10 as it is written:[a]
There is no one righteous, not even one.
11 There is no one who understands;
there is no one who seeks God.
12 All have turned away;
all alike have become useless.
There is no one who does what is good,
not even one.(A)[b]
13 Their throat is an open grave;
they deceive with their tongues.(B)[c]
Vipers’ venom is under their lips.(C)[d]
14 Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.(D)[e]
15 Their feet are swift to shed blood;
16 ruin and wretchedness are in their paths,
17 and the path of peace they have not known.(E)[f]
18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.(F)[g]
19 Now we know that whatever the law says(G) speaks to those who are subject to the law,[h](H) so that every mouth may be shut and the whole world may become subject to God’s judgment.[i](I)
