Romans 3:12
Compare all
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 “Theira throat is an open tomb;
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.” 
15 “Theira 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 “Therea 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.

Romans 3:12

They are all gone out of the way - , they have all diverged from the right way, they have either abandoned or corrupted the worship of God: the Jews, in forsaking the law and the prophets, and the Gentiles, in acting contrary to the law which God had written on their hearts. And the departure of both from the truth proves the evil propensity of human nature in general.

They are together become unprofitable - . They are useless, good for nothing; or, as the Hebrew has it, neelachu , they are putrid: he views the whole mass of mankind as slain and thrown together, to putrefy in heaps. This is what is termed the corruption of human nature; they are infected and infectious. What need of the mercy of God to save from such a state of degeneracy!

There is none that doeth good - In Romans 3:10 it is said, There is none righteous; here, There is none that doeth good: the first may refer to the want of a righteous principle; the second, to the necessary consequence of the absence of such a principle. If there be no righteousness within, there will be no acts of goodness without.
