Romans 3:18
16 Destruction and misery are in their ways:
17 And the way of peace have they not known:
There is no fear of God before their eyes.
19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
