Romans 3 states that there is none righteous; all have turned aside and become unprofitable (Romans 3:10-12).
In Romans 3, the apostle Paul emphasizes that all people, regardless of their background, have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. He quotes from various Scriptures to establish that there is none righteous, no, not one (Romans 3:10). This universality of sin is a critical aspect of Christian doctrine and reveals the depth of human depravity. It illustrates that it is not merely the actions we take that render us sinners but our very nature inherited from Adam. Understanding this truth is pivotal for recognizing our absolute need for salvation through Jesus Christ.
