Romans 3:12
They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
KJV
πάντες ἐξέκλιναν, ἅμα ἠχρεώθησαν· οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ ποιῶν χρηστότητα, οὐκ ἔστιν ἕως ἑνός.
Greek NT
Omnes declinaverunt, simul inutiles facti sunt : non est qui faciat bonum, non est usque ad unum.
Vulgate
They have all turned aside, they are together become unprofitable; There is none that doeth good, no, not so much as one:
ASV
All have turned out of the way: they are become unprofitable together: there is none that doth good, there is not so much as one.
