Romans 3:9-20

Romans 3:9-20

Paul now concludes his indictment against all of humanity. From the depraved pagan to the moralist to the religious Jew, the final verdict is in. The whole world is guilty before God. Mankind is completely helpless and hopeless to his wretched, sinful condition. On one hand this is the worst place a person can be, yet on the other hand it is the only place where a person can truly find hope. It is here that we come to the end of ourselves. It is here that we come to the only place where God can save us, the foot of the cross.It is a dark road that leads to the foot of the cross, but now Paul will finally be able to show us the salvation that comes through faith in Christ alone and the glory that lies beyond the cross.

Chapter 3
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.
13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
15 Their feet are swift to shed blood:
16 Destruction and misery are in their ways:
17 And the way of peace have they not known:
18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.
19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
