Romans 1:29-32

29 They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32 Though they know ^bGod’s righteous decree that those who practice such things ^cdeserve to die, they not only do them but ^dgive approval to those who practice them.

Romans 3:10-20

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 8:7

7 For the mind that is set on the flesh is ^shostile to God, for it does not submit to God’s law; ^tindeed, it cannot.
