Commentary on Romans 3:9-18

(Read Romans 3:9-18)

Here again is shown that all mankind are under the guilt of sin, as a burden; and under the government and dominion of sin, as enslaved to it, to work wickedness. This is made plain by several passages of Scripture from the Old Testament, which describe the corrupt and depraved state of all men, till grace restrain or change them. Great as our advantages are, these texts describe multitudes who call themselves Christians. Their principles and conduct prove that there is no fear of God before their eyes. And where no fear of God is, no good is to be looked for.

12 All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one."[1]

Other Translations of Romans 3:12

King James Version

12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

English Standard Version

12 All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one."

The Message

12 They've all taken the wrong turn; they've all wandered down blind alleys. No one's living right; I can't find a single one.

New King James Version

12 They have all turned aside; They have together become unprofitable; There is none who does good, no, not one."

New Living Translation

12 All have turned away; all have become useless. No one does good, not a single one."
