7

For if by my lie the truth of God enhances his glory, why am I still actually being judged as a sinner?

9

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,

10

11

there is no one who understands, there is no one who seeks God.

All have turned away, together they have become worthless; there is no one who shows kindness, not even one.”
