Romans 3:10-20
King James Version
10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
15 Their feet are swift to shed blood:
16 Destruction and misery are in their ways:
17 And the way of peace have they not known:
18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.
19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

Romans 3:10-20
New International Version
10 As it is written:
“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,
they have together become worthless;
there is no one who does good,
not even one.”[a](A)
13 “Their throats are open graves;
their tongues practice deceit.”[b](B)
“The poison of vipers is on their lips.”[c](C)
14 “Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”[d](D)
15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood;
16 ruin and misery mark their ways,
17 and the way of peace they do not know.”[e](E)
18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”[f](F)
19 Now we know that whatever the law says,(G) it says to those who are under the law,(H) so that every mouth may be silenced(I) and the whole world held accountable to God.(J) 20 Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law;(K) rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.(L)

English Standard Version
10 as it is written:
(A)“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 (B)“Their throat is (C)an open grave;
they use their tongues to deceive.”
(D)“The venom of asps is under their lips.”
14 (E)“Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness.”
15 (F)“Their feet are swift to shed blood;
16 in their paths are ruin and misery,
17 and (G)the way of peace they have not known.”
18 (H)“There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
19 Now we know that whatever (I)the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, (J)so that every mouth may be stopped, and (K)the whole world may be held accountable to God. 20 For (L)by works of the law no human being[a] will be justified in his sight, since (M)through the law comes knowledge of sin.

Christian Standard Bible
10 as it is written:
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 worthless.
There is no one who does what is good,
not even one.[a](A)
13 Their throat is an open grave;
they deceive with their tongues.[b](B)
Vipers’ venom is under their lips.[c](C)
14 Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.[d](D)
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](E)
18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.[f](F)
19 Now we know that whatever the law says,(G) it speaks to those who are subject to the law,[g](H) so that every mouth may be shut and the whole world may become subject to God’s judgment.[h](I) 20 For no one will be justified[i] in his sight by the works of the law,(J) because the knowledge of sin comes through the law.(K)

New American Standard Bible 1995
10 as it is written,
“(A)There is none righteous, not even one;
11 There is none who understands,
There is none who seeks for God;
12 All have turned aside, together they have become useless;
There is none who does good,
There is not even one.”
13 “(B)Their throat is an open grave,
With their tongues they keep deceiving,”
“(C)The poison of asps is under their lips”;
14 “(D)Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness”;
15 “(E)Their feet are swift to shed blood,
16 Destruction and misery are in their paths,
17 And the path of peace they have not known.”
18 “(F)There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
19 Now we know that whatever the (G)Law says, it speaks to (H)those who are [a]under the Law, so that every mouth may be closed and (I)all the world may become accountable to God; 20 because (J)by the works [b]of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for [c](K)through the Law comes the knowledge of sin.
