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 ^cJews and ^dGreeks, are ^eunder sin, 10 as it is written:

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

Romans 3:23

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

Ephesians 2:3

3 among whom we all once lived in ^uthe passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body ^{▼▼Greek flesh} and the mind, and ^wwere by nature ^xchildren of wrath, like the rest of mankind. ^{▼▼Greek like the rest}

1 John 5:19

19 We know that we are from God, and ^zthe whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
