Romans 3:10-23
New American Standard Bible
10 as it is written:
“(A)There is no righteous person, not even one;
11 There is no one who understands,
There is no one who seeks out God;
12 They have all turned aside, together they have become [a]corrupt;
There is no one who does good,
There is not even one.”
13 “(B)Their throat is an open grave,
With their tongues they keep deceiving,”
“(C)The venom of [b]asps is under their lips”;
14 “(D)Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness”;
15 “(E)Their feet are swift to shed blood,
16 Destruction and misery are in their paths,
17 And they have not known the way of peace.”
18 “(F)There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
19 Now we know that whatever the (G)Law says, it speaks to (H)those who are [c]under the Law, so that every mouth may be closed and (I)all the world may become accountable to God; 20 because (J)by the works [d]of the Law [e]none of mankind will be justified in His sight; for [f](K)through the Law comes [g]knowledge of sin.
Justification by Faith
21 But now apart [h]from the Law (L)the righteousness of God has been revealed, being (M)witnessed by the [i]Law and the Prophets, 22 but it is the (N)righteousness of God through (O)faith (P)in Jesus Christ for (Q)all those [j]who believe; for (R)there is no distinction, 23 for all [k](S)have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
