Romans 3:9-12 Part 2 of 2

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. All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one."

 

there is no one who does good, not even one

Psalm 14:1-3 The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good. The LORD looks down from heaven on all mankind to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God. All have turned away, all have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one. (also Psalm 53:1-2)

Ecclesiastes 7:20  Indeed, there is no one on earth who is righteous, no one who does what is right and never sins.

Proverbs 20:9  Who can say, "I have kept my heart pure; I am clean and without sin"? 

Job 15:14  "What are mortals that they could be pure, or those born of woman, that they could be righteous?"

1 John 1:8  If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.

Jeremiah 2:35  "...you say, 'I am innocent; he is not angry with me.' But I will pass judgment on you because you say, 'I have not sinned.' "

James 3:2  We all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check.
