Tree Of Life Version

Romans 3:11-20 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

11. There is no one who understands, no one who seeks after God.

12. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless. There is no one who does good—no, not even one!

13. Their throat is an open grave; with their tongues they keep deceiving. The poison of vipers is under their lips.

14. Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.

15. Their feet are swift to shed blood.

16. Ruin and misery are in their paths,

17. and the way of shalom they have not known.

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

19. Now we know that whatever the Torah says, it says to those within the Torah, so that every mouth may be shut and the whole world may become accountable to God.

20. For no human, on the basis of Torah observance, will be set right in His sight—for through the Torah comes awareness of sin.
