The Scripture echoesPsalm 14:1-3

Paul's 'no one is righteous' echoes the psalmist's verdict on all humanity.

“The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt. They have done abominable works. There is no one who does good. Yahweh looked down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any who understood, who sought after God. They have all gone aside. They have together become corrupt. There is no one who does good, no, not one.”

The same threadPsalm 51:4

'Against you, you only, have I sinned': the deepest wrong of sin is against God.

“Against you, and you only, have I sinned, and done that which is evil in your sight; that you may be proved right when you speak, and justified when you judge.”

The same thread (this verse)Romans 5:12

All have sinned: because all died in the one man's transgression.

“Therefore as sin entered into the world through one man, and death through sin; and so death passed to all men, because all sinned.”
