7 For if the truth of God has increased through my lie to His glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?
8 And why not say, a“Let us do evil that good may come”?—as we are slanderously reported and as some affirm that we say. Their1 condemnation is just.
All Have Sinned
9 What then? Are we better than they? Not at all. For we have previously charged both Jews and Greeks that athey are all under sin.
12 They have all turned aside;
They have together become unprofitable;
There is none who does good, no, not one.”
They have together become unprofitable;
There is none who does good, no, not one.”
13 “Theira throat is an open tomb;
With their tongues they have practiced deceit”;
b“The poison of asps is under their lips”;
With their tongues they have practiced deceit”;
b“The poison of asps is under their lips”;
14 “Whosea mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.”

Romans 3:9-19
Here in Romans 3 is a litany of negatives about good old Homo sapiens. None are righteous, not a one. None does good. Again, not one. All are under the penalty of sin because all have sinned and fall short of God's glory—every person. Every person is guilty before God.
