All Under Sin

All Under Sin and Justified by Grace · Romans 3

Story guide: Disclosed visual essay. Paul brings Jew and Greek alike under sin. The broken road objects evoke deceit, violence, greed, and lost peace without literal gore. The law stops boasting and brings knowledge of sin rather than justification by works.

9What then? Are we better? Not at all, for we have already charged that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin,

10As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one.”

11There is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God.

12All have turned aside; together they have become worthless. There is no one who does what is good; there is not even one.

13Their throat is an open grave; they deceive with their tongues; the venom of asps is under their lips.

14whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.

15Their feet are swift to shed blood,

16Ruin and misery are in their paths,

17and they have not known the way of peace.

18There is no fear of God before their eyes.

19We know that whatever the law says, it speaks to those under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped and the whole world may become accountable to God.

20because by works of the law no one will be justified before him, for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.
