# Connecting Statement:
|
|
|
|
Paul sums up that all are guilty of sin, none are righteous, and no one seeks God.
|
|
|
|
# What then? Are we excusing ourselves?
|
|
|
|
Paul asks these questions to emphasize his point. AT: "We Jews should not try to imagine we are going to escape God's judgment, just because we are Jewish!" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
|
|
|
|
# Not at all
|
|
|
|
These words are stronger than a simple "no," but not as strong as "absolutely not!"
|
|
|
|
# This is as it is written
|
|
|
|
You can translate this in an active form. AT: "This is as the prophets have written in the Scriptures" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
