Romans 3:14-26 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

14. Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness.

15. Their feet are swift to shed blood.

16. Grief and unhappiness are in their ways.

17. And the way of peace they have not known.

18. There is no fear of God before their eyes."

19. But we know that whatever the law speaks, it speaks to those who are in the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the entire world may be subject to God.

20. For in his presence no flesh shall be justified by the works of the law. For knowledge of sin is through the law.

21. But now, without the law, the justice of God, to which the law and the prophets have testified, has been made manifest.

22. And the justice of God, though the faith of Jesus Christ, is in all those and over all those who believe in him. For there is no distinction.

23. For all have sinned and all are in need of the glory of God.

24. We have been justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,

25. whom God has offered as a propitiation, through faith in his blood, to reveal his justice for the remission of the former offenses,

26. and by the forbearance of God, to reveal his justice in this time, so that he himself might be both the Just One and the Justifier of anyone who is of the faith of Jesus Christ.
