New International Version NIV
9 What then? Are we better than they? No, in no wise! For we have before proved that both Jews and Gentiles are all under 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 As it is written: "There is none righteous, no, not one;
10
As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one;
11 there is none that understandeth; there is none that seeketh after God.
11
there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God.
12 They have all gone from the way; they have together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one."
12
All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.”
13 "Their throat is an open sepulcher; with their tongues they have used deceit." "The poison of asps is under their lips,"
13
“Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.”“The poison of vipers is on their lips.”
14 "whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness."
14
“Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”
15 "Their feet are swift to shed blood;
15
“Their feet are swift to shed blood;
16 destruction and misery are in their ways,
16
ruin and misery mark their ways,
17 and the way of peace have they 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 Now we know that whatsoever things the law saith, it saith to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped and all the world may become guilty before 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 Therefore by the deeds of the law, no flesh shall be justified in His sight, for by the law is the 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.
