10 as it is written:
There is no one righteous, not even one.
20 For no one will be justified 3:20 Or will be declared righteous, or will be acquitted in his sight by the works of the law, 3:20 Ps 143:2; Ac 13:39; Gl 2:16 because the knowledge of sin comes through the law. 3:20 Rm 4:15; 5:13,20; 7:7
