Romans 3:7-12 - Crowds By The Sea

⁷ If, for instance, a falsehood of mine has made God's truthfulness more conspicuous, redounding to His glory, why am I judged all the same as a sinner? ⁸ And why should we not say--for so they wickedly misrepresent us, and so some charge us with arguing--"Let us do evil that good may come"? The condemnation of those who would so argue is just.

⁹ What then? Are we Jews more highly estimated than they? Not in the least; for we have already charged all Jews and Gentiles alike with being in thraldom to sin. ¹⁰ Thus it stands written, "There is not one righteous man. ¹¹ There is not one who is really wise, nor one who is a diligent seeker after God. ¹² All have turned aside from the right path; they have every one of them become corrupt. There is no one who does what is right--no, not so much as one."
