Jeremiah 3:8-11
New King James Version
8 Then I saw that (A)for all the causes for which backsliding Israel had committed adultery, I had (B)put her away and given her a certificate of divorce; (C)yet her treacherous sister Judah did not fear, but went and played the harlot also. 9 So it came to pass, through her casual harlotry, that she (D)defiled the land and committed adultery with (E)stones and trees. 10 And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah has not turned to Me (F)with her whole heart, but in pretense,” says the Lord.
11 Then the Lord said to me, (G)“Backsliding Israel has shown herself more righteous than treacherous Judah.

Romans 3:9-20
New King James Version
All Have Sinned(A)
9 What then? Are we better than they? Not at all. For we have previously charged both Jews and Greeks that (B)they are all under sin.
10 As it is written:
(C)“There is none righteous, no, not one;
11 There is none who understands;
There is none who seeks after God.
12 They have all turned aside;
They have together become unprofitable;
There is none who does good, no, not one.”
13 “Their(D) throat is an open [a]tomb;
With their tongues they have practiced deceit”;
(E)“The poison of asps is under their lips”;
14 “Whose(F) mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.”
15 “Their(G) feet are swift to shed blood;
16 Destruction and misery are in their ways;
17 And the way of peace they have not known.”
18 “There(H) is no fear of God before their eyes.”
19 Now we know that whatever (I)the law says, it says to those who are under the law, that (J)every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become [b]guilty before God. 20 Therefore (K)by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

Luke 12:47-48
New King James Version
47 And (A)that servant who (B)knew his master’s will, and did not prepare himself or do according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. 48 (C)But he who did not know, yet committed things deserving of stripes, shall be beaten with few. For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more.

Matthew 12:41-42
New King James Version
41 (A)The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation and (B)condemn it, (C)because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and indeed a greater than Jonah is here. 42 (D)The queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and indeed a greater than Solomon is here.
