Psa 143:2, Rom 3:9-20, 23, 5:12, 20, 11:32, Gal 3:8-10, 23 | ESV | STEP | Enter not into judgment with your servant , for no one living is righteous before you.

9 What then? Are we Jews ^{▼▼Greek Are we} any better off? ^{▼▼Or at any disadvantage?} No, not at all. For we have already charged that all, both ^eJews and ^fGreeks, are ^gunder sin, 10 as it is written:

^h“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 ⁱ“Their throat is ^jan open grave;
they use their tongues to deceive.”
^k“The venom of asps is under their lips.”
14 ^l“Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness.”
15 ^m“Their feet are swift to shed blood;
16 in their paths are ruin and misery,
17 and ⁿthe way of peace they have not known.”
18 ^o“There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
19 Now we know that whatever ^pthe law says it speaks to those who are under the law, ^qso that every mouth may be stopped, and ^rthe whole world may be held accountable to God. 20 For ^sby works of the law no human being ^{▼▼Greek flesh} will be justified in his sight, since ^uthrough the law comes knowledge of sin.

Romans 3:23

23 for ^vall have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

Romans 5:12

Death in Adam, Life in Christ

12 Therefore, just as ^wsin came into the world through one man, and ^xdeath through sin, and ^yso death spread to all men ^{▼▼The Greek word anthropoi refers here to both men and women; also twice in verse 18} because ^aaall sinned—

Romans 5:20

20 Now ^abthe law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, ^acgrace abounded all the more,

Romans 11:32

32 For God ^adhas consigned all to disobedience, that he may have mercy on all.

Galatians 3:8-10

8 And the Scripture, foreseeing that ^aeGod would justify ^{▼▼Or count righteous; also verses 11, 24} the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, ^ag“In you shall all the nations be blessed.” 9 So then, those who are of faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.

The Righteous Shall Live by Faith

10 For all who rely on works of the law are ^ahunder a curse; for it is written, ^ai“Cursed be everyone who does not ^ajabide by all things written in the Book of the Law, and do them.”

Galatians 3:23

23 Now before faith came, we were held captive under the law, ^akimprisoned until the coming faith would be revealed.
