What then? (A)Are we [a]better? Not at all; for we have already charged that both (B)Jews and (C)Greeks are (D)all under sin; 10 as it is written,

There is none who seeks for God;

There is none who does good,
There is not even one.”

All Are Guilty of Sin

What then? Are we any better off? No, not at all! In fact, we have already made the charge that all (both Jews and Greeks) are under sin. 10 Just as it is written:

There is no one who is righteous, not even one.
11 There is no one who understands. There is no one who searches for God.
12 They all turned away; together they became useless.
There is no one who does what is good; there is not even one.[a]

13 Their throat is an open grave.
They kept deceiving with their tongues.
The poison of asps is on their lips.[b]
14 Their mouth is filled with cursing and bitterness.[c]

15 Their feet are quick to shed blood.
16 They leave a trail of destruction and suffering wherever they go.
17 The way of peace they did not know.[d]

18 There is no fear of God in front of their eyes.[e]
