SEEK Romans 3:9-11

What shall we conclude then? Do we have any advantage? Not at all! For we have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under the power of sin. As it is written: "There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God." (Psalm 14:1-3; 53:1-3; Ecclesiastes 7:20)

Do we have any advantage? 
Romans 3:1-4  What advantage, then, is there is being a Jew, or what value is there in circumcision? Much in every way! First of all, the Jews have been entrusted with the very words of God. What if some were unfaithful? Will their unfaithfulness nullify God's faithfulness? Not at all! Let God be true, and every human being a liar. As it is written: "So that you may be proved right when you speak and prevail when you judge." (Psalm 51:4)

Jews and Gentiles alike are all under the power of sin 
Romans 3:19  Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God.
Romans 3:23  ... for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, ...
1 Kings 8:46  "When they sin against you--for there is no one who does not sin--and you become angry with them and give them over to their enemies, who take them captive to their own lands, far away or near; ..."
2 Chronicles 6:36  "When they sin against you--for there is no one who does not sin--and you become angry with them and give them over to the enemy, who takes them captive to a land far away or near; ..."
Psalm 106:6  We have sinned, even as our ancestors did; we have done wrong and acted wickedly.
Romans 5:12  Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned--...
Romans 11:32  For God has bound everyone over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all.
Galatians 3:22  But Scripture has locked up everything under the control of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe.
