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.”Psalm 14:1-3; 53:1-3; Ecclesiastes 7:20
13 “Their throat is an open tomb.
    With their tongues they have used deceit.”Psalm 5:9
“The poison of vipers is under their lips.”Psalm 140:3
14     “Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.”Psalm 10:7
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.”Isaiah 59:7-8
18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”Psalm 36:1
