Bible verse
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
Romans 3:23 · BSB
The verses around it, from 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.
20 Therefore no one will be justified in His sight by works of the law. For the law merely brings awareness of sin.
21 But now, apart from the law, the righteousness of God has been revealed, as attested by the Law and the Prophets.
22 And this righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no distinction,
23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
24 and are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.
25 God presented Him as the atoning sacrifice through faith in His blood, in order to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance He had passed over the sins committed beforehand.
26 He did this to demonstrate His righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and to justify the one who has faith in Jesus.
27 Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. On what principle? On that of works? No, but on that of faith.
