Romans 3:10-14

3:10 just as it is written:

“There is no one righteous, not even one,

3:11 there is no one who understands,

there is no one who seeks God.

3:12 All have turned away,

together they have become worthless;

there is no one who shows kindness, not even one.” ¹ 

3:13 “Their throats are open graves, ² 

they deceive with their tongues,

the poison of asps is under their lips.” ³ 

3:14 “Their mouths are ⁴  full of cursing and bitterness.” ⁵ 

[3:12]  ¹ sn Verses 10-12 are a quotation from Ps 14:1-3.

[3:13]  ² tn Grk “their throat is an opened grave.”

[3:13]  ³ sn A quotation from Pss 5:9; 140:3.

[3:14]  ⁴ tn Grk “whose mouth is.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.
