Romans 3:9-20

Lexham English Bible LEB

9 What then? Do we have an advantage? Not at all. For we have already charged both Jews and Greeks are all under sin,

10 just as it is written, "[There] is no one righteous, not even one;

11 [there] is no one who understands; [there] is no one who seeks God.

12 All have turned aside together; they have become worthless; [There] is no one who practices kindness; [there] is not even one.

13 Their throat [is] an opened grave; they deceive with their tongues; the venom of asps [is] under their lips,

14 whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.

15 Their feet [are] swift to shed blood;

16 destruction and distress [are] in their paths,

17 and they have not known the way of peace.

18 The fear of God is not before their eyes."

19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it speaks to those under the law, in order that every mouth may be closed and the whole world may become accountable to God.

20 For by the works of the law {no person will be declared righteous} before him, for through the law [comes] knowledge of sin.

New International Version NIV

9 What shall we conclude then? Do we have any advantage? Not at all! For we have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under the power of sin.

10 As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one;

11 there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God.

12 All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.”

13 “Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.”“The poison of vipers is on their lips.”

14 “Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”

15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood;

16 ruin and misery mark their ways,

17 and the way of peace they do not know.”

18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”

19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God.

20 Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.
