Romans 3:14-20
New International Version
14 “Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”[a](A)
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.”[b](B)
18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”[c](C)
19 Now we know that whatever the law says,(D) it says to those who are under the law,(E) so that every mouth may be silenced(F) and the whole world held accountable to God.(G) 20 Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law;(H) rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.(I)

Romans 3:14-20
King James Version
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.
