Romans 3:7-12 - Crowds By The Sea

⁷ But what if my untruth serves God's glory by making his truth stand out more clearly? Why should I be condemned as a sinner? ⁸ Why not say, Let us do evil so that good may come? Some people have insulted me by accusing me of saying this very thing! They should be condemned and they will be.

⁹ Are we Jews in any better condition than the people of the nations? Not at all! I have already shown that Jews and the people of the nations are all under the power of sin. ¹⁰ The Scriptures say: There is no one who is righteous, ¹¹ There is no one who has insight. No one seeks God! ¹² All have turned away from God; they have all done wrong. No one does what is right, not even one. (Psalm 53:3)
