No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, all under sin; [10] As it is written, none righteous, no, not one: [11] none that understandeth, none that seeketh after God. [12] all gone out of the way, together become unprofitable; none that doeth good, no, not [13] Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison 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 misery are in their ways: [17] And the way of peace they not known: [18] no fear of God before their eyes. [19] Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. [20] Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
