The Whole World Guilty Before God

[9] What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin; [10] As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: [11] There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. [12] They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.

For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;

Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
