What then? Are we Jews any better off? No, not at all; for I have already charged that all men, both Jews and Greeks, are under the power of sin, as it is written:<\/p>\n
\u201cNone is righteous, no, not one;
\nno one understands, no one seeks for God.
\nAll have turned aside, together they have gone wrong;
\nno one does good, not even one.\u201d
\n\u201cTheir throat is an open grave,
\nthey use their tongues to deceive.\u201d
\n\u201cThe venom of asps is under their lips.\u201d
\n\u201cTheir mouth is full of curses and bitterness.\u201d
\n\u201cTheir feet are swift to shed blood,
\nin their paths are ruin and misery,
\nand the way of peace they do not know.\u201d
\n\u201cThere is no fear of God before their eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Now we know that whatever the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may be held accountable to God. For no human being will be justified in his sight by works of the law, since through the law comes knowledge of sin.<\/p>\n
