Romans 3:16-20

16ruin and misery mark their ways,

17and the way of peace they do not know.” Isaiah 59:7,8

18“There is no fear of God before their eyes.” Psalm 36:1 19Now 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.

20Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.
