Mat 23:5, 14, Rom 3:10-20, 10:2-3 | ESV | STEP | They do all their deeds to be seen by others . For they make their phylacteries broad and their fringes long ,

10 as it is written:

^e“None is righteous, no, not one;
11 no one understands;
no one seeks for God.
12 All have turned aside; together they have become worthless;
no one does good,
not even one.”
13 ^f“Their throat is ^gan open grave;
they use their tongues to deceive.”
^h“The venom of asps is under their lips.”
14 ⁱ“Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness.”
15 ^j“Their feet are swift to shed blood;
16 in their paths are ruin and misery,
17 and ^kthe way of peace they have not known.”
18 ^l“There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
19 Now we know that whatever ^mthe law says it speaks to those who are under the law, ⁿso that every mouth may be stopped, and ^othe whole world may be held accountable to God. 20 For ^pby works of the law no human being ^{▼▼Greek flesh} will be justified in his sight, since ^rthrough the law comes knowledge of sin.

Romans 10:2-3

2 For I bear them witness that ^sthey have a zeal for God, ^tbut not according to knowledge. 3 For, being ignorant of ^uthe righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness.
