Rm3:9What shall we conclude then? Are we any better? Not at all! We have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under sin. 10As it is written:

   "There is no one righteous, not even one;
        11there is no one who understands,
       no one who seeks God.

    12All have turned away,
        they have together become worthless;
    there is no one who does good,
        not even one."
(Psa14:1-3;53:1-3 Ecc7:20)
    13"Their throats are open graves;
       their tongues practice deceit." (Psa5:9)
   "The poison of vipers is on their lips." (Psa140:3)
        14"Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness." (Psa10:7)
    15"Their feet are swift to shed blood;
        16ruin and misery mark their ways,
    17and the way of peace they do not know." (Isa59:7,8)
        18"There is no fear of God before their eyes." (Psa36:1)

19Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God. 20Therefore no one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin. - NIV


Rm3:20Therefore no one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin. 21But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. 22This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, 23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. 25God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood. - NIV


Rm5:12Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned--  - NIV
