Romans 3:9-18
World English Bible
9 What then? Are we better than they? No, in no way. For we previously warned both Jews and Greeks that they are all under sin. 10 As it is written,
“There is no one righteous;
no, not one.
11 There is no one who understands.
There is no one who seeks after God.
12 They have all turned away.
They have together become unprofitable.
There is no one who does good,
no, not so much as one.”
13 “Their throat is an open tomb.
With their tongues they have used deceit.”
“The poison of vipers is under their lips.”
14 “Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.”
15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood.
16 Destruction and misery are in their ways.
17 The way of peace, they haven’t known.”
18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
Romans 3:9-18
Modern English Version
There Is None Righteous
9 What then? Are we better than they? No, not at all. For we have already charged that both Jews and Gentiles are all under sin. 10 As it is written:
“There is none righteous, no, not one;[a]
11 there is no one who understands;
there is no one who seeks after God.[b]
12 They have all turned aside;
together they have become worthless;
there is no one who does good,
no, not one.”[c]
13 “Their throats are an open grave;
with their tongues they have used deceit”;
“the poison of vipers is under their lips”;[d]
14 “their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”[e]
15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood;[f]
16 destruction and misery are in their paths;[g]
17 and they do not know the way of peace.”[h]
18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”[i]
