What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;

Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.

And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;

To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:

Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;

For there is no respect of persons with God.

For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)

For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.

For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.

But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.

By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.

Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:

But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
