As it is written: "There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God. All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one."

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.

Therefore no one will be declared righteous in His sight by observing the law; Rather, through the law we become conscious of sin.
