Romans 3:9-17 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

9. What then? Are we any better? Not at all! For we have previously charged that both Jews and Gentiles are all under sin,

10. as it is written: There is no one righteous, not even one.

11. There is no one who understands;there is no one who seeks God.

12. All have turned away;all alike have become useless.There is no one who does what is good,not even one.

13. Their throat is an open grave;they deceive with their tongues. Vipers’ venom is under their lips.

14. Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.

15. Their feet are swift to shed blood;

16. ruin and wretchedness are in their paths,

17. and the path of peace they have not known.
