Romans 3:12 - Forerunner Commentary

Romans 3:12

10 As it is written:
^a“There is none righteous, no, not one;

11 There is none who understands;
There is none who seeks after God.

12 They have all turned aside;
They have together become unprofitable;
There is none who does good, no, not one.”

13 “Their^a throat is an open tomb;
With their tongues they have practiced deceit”;
^b“The poison of asps is under their lips”;

14 “Whose^a mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.”

15 “Their^a feet are swift to shed blood;

16 Destruction and misery are in their ways;

17 And the way of peace they have not known.”

18 “There^a is no fear of God before their eyes.”

19 Now we know that whatever ^athe law says, it says to those who are under the law, that ^bevery mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become¹ guilty before God.

20 Therefore ^aby the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

God’s Righteousness Through Faith

21 But now ^athe righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, ^bbeing witnessed by the Law ^cand the Prophets,
