There is None Righteous

Romans 3:23 (KJV 1900)

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Romans 3:9–20 KJV 1900

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; As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: Their feet are swift to shed blood: Destruction and misery are in their ways: And the way of peace have they not known: There is no fear of God before their eyes. 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. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

The True Nature of Sin

Isaiah 64:6 (KJV 1900)

But we are all as an unclean thing,

And all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags;

And we all do fade as a leaf;

And our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

Matthew 5:20 (KJV 1900)

For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 5:48 (KJV 1900)

Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Romans 3:10 (KJV 1900)

As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

The Affect of Sin

John 6:44 (KJV 1900)

No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

Matthew 12:34–35 (KJV 1900)

O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.

Matthew 15:18 (KJV 1900)

But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.

James 3:2 (KJV 1900)

For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
