Romans 3:9–21 (ESV) Back
9What then? Are we Jews any better off? No,
not at all. For we have already charged that all, both Jews and Greeks, are
under sin, 10as it is written: “None is righteous, no, not one; 11no one
understands; no one seeks for God. 12All have turned aside; together they have
become worthless; no one does good, not even one.” 13“Their throat is an open grave; they use
their tongues to deceive.” “The venom of asps is under their lips.” 14“Their
mouth is full of curses and bitterness.” 15“Their feet are swift to shed blood; 16in
their paths are ruin and misery, 17and the way of peace they have not known.” 18“There
is no fear of God before their eyes.” 19Now we know that whatever the law says it
speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and
the whole world may be held accountable to God. 20For by works of the law no human being
will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin. 21But now
the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the
Law and the Prophets bear witness to it—
Romans 3:9-21 (KJ3) Back
9 What then? Do we excel? Not at
all! For we before have charged both Jews and Greeks all to be under sin;
10 according as it is written, “There
is not a righteous one, not even one!”
11“There is not one understanding,
there is not one seeking God.”
12 All turned aside; together they
became worthless, not one is doing goodness, not so much as one!Ӡ
13“Their throat is a tomb
being opened;” “they used deceit with their tongues; the poison of asps is
under their lips;
14 whose mouth is full of
cursing and bitterness.
15 Their feet are swift to
shed blood;
16 ruin and misery are in
their ways;
17 and they did not know a way of
peace;
18 there is no fear of God before
their eyes.Ӡ
19¶ But we know that as many things
as the law says, it says to the ones within the law, so that every
mouth may be stopped, and all the world be accountable to God.
20 Because by works of law not will
be justified all flesh before Him, for through law is full knowledge of
sin.†
21 But now apart from law a
righteousness of God has been revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the
Prophets,
Romans 3:9–21 (NASB95) Back
9What then? Are we better than they? Not at
all; for we have already charged that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin; 10as it
is written, “There is none righteous, not even one; 11There is none who understands, There is
none who seeks for God; 12All have turned aside, together they have become
useless; There is none who does good, There is not even one.” 13“Their
throat is an open grave, With their tongues they keep deceiving,” “The poison
of asps is under their lips”; 14“Whose mouth is full of cursing and
bitterness”; 15“Their feet are swift to shed blood, 16Destruction
and misery are in their paths, 17And the path of peace they have not
known.” 18“There is no fear of God before their eyes.” 19Now we
know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under the Law, so
that every mouth may be closed and all the world may become accountable to God; 20because
by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through
the Law comes the knowledge of sin. 21But now apart from the Law the
righteousness of God has been manifested, being witnessed by the Law and the
Prophets,
Romans 3:9-21 (WEB) Back
9 What then? Are we better than they?
No, in no way. For we previously warned both Jews and Greeks, that they are all
under sin.
10 As
it is written,
11 There is no
one who understands.
12 They have
all turned away.
13“Their
throat is an open tomb.
14“whose mouth is full of cursing and
bitterness.”✡
15“Their feet are swift to shed blood.
16 Destruction and misery are in their ways.
17 The way of peace, they haven’t known.”✡
18“There is no fear of God before their eyes.”✡
19 Now we know that whatever things the
law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be
closed, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God.
20 Because by the works of the law, no flesh
will be justified in his sight. For through the law comes the knowledge of sin.
21 But now apart from the law, a
righteousness of God has been revealed, being testified by the law and the

James 3:2–13 (ESV) Back
2For we all stumble in many ways. And if
anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able also to
bridle his whole body. 3If we put bits into the mouths of horses so that
they obey us, we guide their whole bodies as well. 4Look at the ships also: though they are so
large and are driven by strong winds, they are guided by a very small rudder
wherever the will of the pilot directs. 5So also the tongue is a small member, yet
it boasts of great things. How great a forest is set ablaze by such a small
fire! 6And the tongue is a fire, a world of unrighteousness. The tongue is set
among our members, staining the whole body, setting on fire the entire course
of life, and set on fire by hell. 7For every kind of beast and bird, of
reptile and sea creature, can be tamed and has been tamed by mankind, 8but no
human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. 9With it
we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people who are made in the
likeness of God. 10From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My
brothers, these things ought not to be so. 11Does a spring pour forth from the same
opening both fresh and salt water? 12Can a fig tree, my brothers, bear olives,
or a grapevine produce figs? Neither can a salt pond yield fresh water. 13Who is
wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in
the meekness of wisdom.
James 3:2-13 (KJ3) Back
2 For we all stumble in many
ways. If any one does not stumble in word, this one is a mature
man, able also to bridle the whole body.
3 Behold, we put bits in the
mouths of the horses, for them to obey us; and we turn about their whole body.
4 Behold, the ships also, being so
great, and being driven by rough winds, they are directed by a very
small rudder, where the impulse of the one steering purposes.
5 So also the tongue is a little
member, and boasts great things. Behold, how little a fire kindles how large a
forest!
6 And the tongue is a fire,
the world of unrighteousness. So the tongue is set among our members, defiling
the whole body, and inflaming the course of nature, and being inflamed by Hell.
7 For every species of beasts,
both indeed of birds, of creeping things, and of sea animals, is tamed, and has
been tamed by the human nature;
8 but no one of men is able to
tame the tongue; it is an unrestrainable evil, full of death-bringing
poison.
9 By this we bless God and the Father;
and by this we curse men, the ones having come into being according to the
image of God.†
10 Out of the same mouth comes
forth blessing and cursing. My brothers, it is not fitting for these
things to be so.
11 The fountain does not send forth
the sweet and the bitter out of the same hole, does it?
12 My brothers, a fig tree is not
able to produce olives, or a vine figs. So neither can a fountain
produce both salt and sweet water.
13¶ Who is a wise one and
knowing among you? Let him show his works by his good behavior, in
meekness of wisdom.
James 3:2–13 (NASB95) Back
2For we all stumble in many ways. If anyone
does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole
body as well. 3Now if we put the bits into the horses’ mouths so
that they will obey us, we direct their entire body as well. 4Look at
the ships also, though they are so great and are driven by strong winds, are
still directed by a very small rudder wherever the inclination of the pilot
desires. 5So also the tongue is a small part of the body,
and yet it boasts of great things. See how great a forest is set aflame by such
a small fire! 6And the tongue is a fire, the very world of iniquity;
the tongue is set among our members as that which defiles the entire body, and
sets on fire the course of our life, and is set on fire by hell. 7For
every species of beasts and birds, of reptiles and creatures of the sea, is
tamed and has been tamed by the human race. 8But no one can tame the tongue; it is a
restless evil and full of deadly poison. 9With it we bless our Lord and Father, and
with it we curse men, who have been made in the likeness of God; 10from
the same mouth come both blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought
not to be this way. 11Does a fountain send out from the same opening
both fresh and bitter water? 12Can a fig tree, my brethren, produce
olives, or a vine produce figs? Nor can salt water produce fresh. 13Who
among you is wise and understanding? Let him show by his good behavior his
deeds in the gentleness of wisdom.
James 3:2-13 (WEB) Back
2 For in many things we all stumble. If anyone
doesn’t stumble in word, the same is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole
body also.
3 Indeed, we put bits into the horses’ mouths
so that they may obey us, and we guide their whole body.
4 Behold,*
the ships also, though they are so big and are driven by fierce winds, are yet
guided by a very small rudder, wherever the pilot desires.
5 So the tongue is also a little member, and
boasts great things. See how a small fire can spread to a large forest!
6 And the tongue is a fire. The world of
iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defiles the whole body, and
sets on fire the course of nature, and is set on fire by Gehenna.†
7 For every kind of animal, bird, creeping
thing, and sea creature, is tamed, and has been tamed by mankind;
8 but nobody can tame the tongue. It is a

9 With it we bless our God and Father, and
with it we curse men, who are made in the image of God.
10 Out of the same mouth comes blessing and
cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.
11 Does a spring send out from the same opening
fresh and bitter water?
12 Can a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives,
or a vine figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh water.

you? Let him show by his good conduct that his deeds are done in gentleness of
wisdom.
