Romans 3:9-25
-
9 What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;
-
10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
-
11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
-
12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

-
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.
-
21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
-
22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
-
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
-
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
-
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
