  • Rom 3:9 : 9 What{G5101} then{G3767}? are we better{G4284}{(G5736)} than they? No{G3756}, in no wise{G3843}: for{G1063} we have before proved{G4256}{(G5662)} both{G5037} Jews{G2453} and{G2532} Gentiles{G1672}, that they are{G1511}{(G5750)} all{G3956} under{G5259} sin{G266};
  • Rom 3:19 : 19 Now{G1161} we know{G1492}{(G5758)} that{G3754} what things soever{G3745} the law{G3551} saith{G3004}{(G5719)}, it saith{G2980}{(G5719)} to them who are under{G1722} the law{G3551}: that{G2443} every{G3956} mouth{G4750} may be stopped{G5420}{(G5652)}, and{G2532} all{G3956} the world{G2889} may become{G1096}{(G5638)} guilty{G5267} before God{G2316}.
  • Rom 5:8-9 : 8 But{G1161} God{G2316} commendeth{G4921}{(G5719)} his{G1438} love{G26} toward{G1519} us{G2248}, in that{G3754}, while we{G2257} were{G5607}{(G5752)} yet{G2089} sinners{G268}, Christ{G5547} died{G599}{(G5627)} for{G5228} us{G2257}. 9 Much{G4183} more{G3123} then{G3767}, being{G1344} now{G3568} justified{G1344}{(G5685)} by{G1722} his{G846} blood{G129}, we shall be saved{G4982}{(G5701)} from{G575} wrath{G3709} through{G1223} him{G846}. 10 For{G1063} if{G1487}, when we were{G5607}{(G5752)} enemies{G2190}, we were reconciled{G2644}{(G5648)} to God{G2316} by{G1223} the death{G2288} of his{G846} Son{G5207}, much{G4183} more{G3123}, being reconciled{G2644}{(G5651)}, we shall be saved{G4982}{(G5701)} by{G1722} his{G846} life{G2222}.
