11. There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
12. All have turned out of the way; they are become unprofitable together: there is none that doth good, there is not so much as one.
13. Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have dealt deceitfully. The venom of asps is under their lips.
14. Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
15. Their feet swift to shed blood:
16. Destruction and misery in their ways:
17. And the way of peace they have not known:
18. There is no fear of God before their eyes.
19. Now we know, that what things soever the law speaketh, it speaketh to them that are in the law; that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may be made subject to God.
20. Because by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified before him. For by the law is the knowledge of sin.
21. But now without the law the justice of God is made manifest, being witnessed by the law and the prophets.
22. Even the justice of God, by faith of Jesus Christ, unto all and upon all them that believe in him: for there is no distinction:
23. For all have sinned, and do need the glory of God.
24. Being justified freely by his grace, through the redemption, that is in Christ Jesus,
25. Whom God hath proposed to be a propitiation, through faith in his blood, to the shewing of his justice, for the remission of former sins,
26. Through the forbearance of God, for the shewing of his justice in this time; that he himself may be just, and the justifier of him, who is of the faith of Jesus Christ.
27. Where is then thy boasting? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No, but by the law of faith.
28. For we account a man to be justified by faith, without the works of the law.
