"What is next? Should we try to excel ahead of them? By no means! For we have accused all Jews and Greeks to be under sin, "
— Romans 3:9, Catholic Public Domain Version
“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;”
“What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we before laid to the charge both of Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin; ”
“What then? Are we better than they? No, in no way. For we previously warned both Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin.”
“The Condemnation of the World What then? Are we better off? Certainly not, for we have already charged that Jews and Greeks alike are all under sin,”
“What then? Do we excel them? No, not so. For we have charged both Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin.”
“What then? are we worse off than they? In no way: because we have before made it clear that Jews as well as Greeks are all under the power of sin;”
“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;”
(I am speaking in human terms.) Let it not be so! Otherwise, how would God judge this world?
For if the truth of God has abounded, through my falseness, unto his glory, why should I still be judged as such a sinner?
And should we not do evil, so that good may result? For so we have been slandered, and so some have claimed we said; their condemnation is just.
What is next? Should we try to excel ahead of them? By no means! For we have accused all Jews and Greeks to be under sin,
just as it was written: “There is no one who is just.
There is no one who understands. There is no one who seeks God.
All have gone astray; together they have become useless. There is no one who does good; there is not even one.
