Romans 3:19
17 and the way of peace they have not known.”
18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God.
20 Therefore no one will be justified in His sight by works of the law. For the law merely brings awareness of sin.
21 But now, apart from the law, the righteousness of God has been revealed, as attested by the Law and the Prophets.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
