Romans 3:12-18
All have turned away from God; all have gone wrong. No one does good, not even one. Their talk is foul, like the stench from an open grave. Their speech is filled with lies. The poison of a deadly snake drips from their lips. Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness. They are quick to commit murder. Wherever they go, destruction and misery follow them. They do not know what true peace is. They have no fear of God to restrain them.Originally from Christianity.com Verse of the Day, ReBlogged by mark on Oct 30, 2005 at 05:01 AM | Comments (0)
