Weymouth New Testament WNT
New International Version NIV
9 What then? Are we Jews more highly estimated than they? Not in the least; for we have already charged all Jews and Gentiles alike with being in thraldom to sin.
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 Thus it stands written, "There is not one righteous man.
10
As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one;
11 There is not one who is really wise, nor one who is a diligent seeker after God.
11
there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God.
12 All have turned aside from the right path; they have every one of them become corrupt. There is no one who does what is right--no, not so much as one."
12
All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.”
13 "Their throats resemble an opened grave; with their tongues they have been talking deceitfully." "The venom of vipers lies hidden behind their lips."
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."
14
“Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”
15 "Their feet move swiftly to shed blood.
15
“Their feet are swift to shed blood;
16 Ruin and misery mark their path;
16
ruin and misery mark their ways,
17 and the way to peace they have not known."
17
and the way of peace they do not know.”
18 "There is no fear of God before their eyes."
18
“There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
19 But it cannot be denied that all that the Law says is addressed to those who are living under the Law, in order that every mouth may be stopped, and that the whole world may await sentence from God.
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 For on the ground of obedience to Law no man living will be declared righteous before Him. Law simply brings a sure knowledge of sin.
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.
