No person is guiltless

Rom 3:9–20

3:9 No person is guiltless

9 What then? Do Yehudim (Jews) have any advantage? Definitely not, because we showed earlier that both Yehudim and other nationalities are all under sin’s shadow, 10 just like it was written long ago:

‘No one is guiltless,

not even one person.

11 No one understands,

there’s not even one person trying to find God.

12 Everyone has turned away,

it was a waste of time.

No one is being kind,

Not even one person.’[ref]

13 ‘Their words lead to death,

their tongues are deceptive.’[ref]

‘Their lips spray out poison.’[ref]

14 ‘Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.’[ref]

15 ‘They rush off to go and shed blood.

16 They leave trails of destruction and misery—

17 they don’t know the path that leads to peace.’[ref]

18 Revering God isn’t at the front of their minds.[ref]

19 We know that whatever the law says, it’s for everyone that the law applies to, so that no one can speak against it, and the whole world will be bound by God’s judgement. 20 No human will be declared guiltless in front of God by their keeping the law,[ref] because it’s the law that teaches what sin is.

9 Therefore what?
We_are_having_advantage?
Not certainly, because/for we_previously_charged, Youdaiōns both and Hellaʸns, all under sin to_be.
10 As it_has_been_written, that Not one there_is righteous, not_even one,
11 not there_is understanding, not there_is the one seeking_out the god.
12 All turned_away, together they_were_being_useless, not one there_is practicing kindness, not there_is as_much_as one.
13 A_tomb having_been_opened_up the throat is of_them, with_the tongues of_them they_were_deceiving:
Poison of_asps is under the lips of_them,
14 Of_whom their mouth of_cursing and bitterness is_being_full,
15 Sharp are the feet of_them, to_pour_out blood…
16 destruction and misery in the ways of_them,
17 and the_way of_peace not they_knew.
18 Not is reverence of_god in_front_of the eyes of_them.
19 And we_have_known that as_much_as the law is_saying, to_the ones in the law it_is_speaking, in_order_that every mouth may_be_shut, and under_judgement may_become all the world to_ the _god.
20 Because by works of_law, not will_be_being_justified any flesh before him, because/for through the_law is the_knowledge of_sin.

to see if there are any who understand—who make an effort to discover him.
