Romans 3:12-18 They have all turned aside; They have together become unprofitable; There is none who does good, no, not one."13 "Their throat is an open tomb; With their tongues they have practiced deceit"; "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 Destruction and misery are in their ways; 17 And the way of peace they have not known."18 "There is no fear of God before their eyes."
In Romans 3 verses 10-18 Paul quotes and paraphrases a number of Old Testament passages--
The first passages he quotes come from King David in the book of Psalms.
Psalms 5:9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth;Their inward part is destruction;Their throat is an open tomb; They flatter with their tongue.
Psalms 10:7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and oppression; Under his tongue is trouble and iniquity.
Psalms 14:1-3 They have all turned aside,They have together become corrupt;There is none who does good, No, not one.
Psalms 36:1 An oracle within my heart concerning the transgression of the wicked:There is no fear of God before his eyes.
Psalms 140:3 They sharpen their tongues like a serpent; The poison of asps is under their lips. Selah
The latter passages he quotes come from the Prophet Isaiah in the book of Isaiah.
Isaiah 59:7-8 Their feet run to evil, And they make haste to shed innocent blood;Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; Wasting and destruction are in their paths. 8 The way of peace they have not known, And there is no justice in their ways;They have made themselves crooked paths; Whoever takes that way shall not know peace.
Again up to this point so far he has only supported his statements by logic or reason now he supports them scripturally. To point ou the evil in man and his need for God.
