9, What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved1 both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;
10, As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
11, There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
12, They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
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 have they not known:
18, There is 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 guilty2 before God. |
