Romans 3:19-20
New American Standard Bible
19 Now we know that whatever the (A)Law says, it speaks to (B)those who are [a]under the Law, so that every mouth may be closed and (C)all the world may become accountable to God; 20 because (D)by the works [b]of the Law [c]none of mankind will be justified in His sight; for [d](E)through the Law comes [e]knowledge of sin.
