Bible verse
What then? Are we any better? Not at all. For we have already made the charge that Jews and Greeks alike are all under sin.
Romans 3:9 · BSB
The verses around it, from Romans 3.
5 But if our unrighteousness highlights the righteousness of God, what shall we say? That God is unjust to inflict His wrath on us? I am speaking in human terms.
6 Certainly not! In that case, how could God judge the world?
7 However, if my falsehood accentuates God’s truthfulness, to the increase of His glory, why am I still condemned as a sinner?
8 Why not say, as some slanderously claim that we say, “Let us do evil that good may result”? Their condemnation is deserved!
9 What then? Are we any better? Not at all. For we have already made the charge that Jews and Greeks alike are all under sin.
10 As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one.
11 There is no one who understands, no one who seeks God.
12 All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.”
13 “Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.” “The venom of vipers is on their lips.”
