If you kept a record of our sins, who could escape being condemned?

Will you even look at me, God, or put me on trial and judge me?

I keep my promise for thousands of generations and forgive evil and sin; but I will not fail to punish children and grandchildren to the third and fourth generation for the sins of their parents."

"Can anyone be righteous in the sight of God or be pure before his Creator?

(SEE 9:1)

How can anyone argue with him? He can ask a thousand questions that no one could ever answer.

Can any human being be really pure? Can anyone be right with God?

Can anyone be righteous or pure in God's sight?

There is no one on earth who does what is right all the time and never makes a mistake.

For no one is put right in God's sight by doing what the Law requires; what the Law does is to make us know that we have sinned.

Yet we know that a person is put right with God only through faith in Jesus Christ, never by doing what the Law requires. We, too, have believed in Christ Jesus in order to be put right with God through our faith in Christ, and not by doing what the Law requires. For no one is put right with God by doing what the Law requires.

If we say that we have not sinned, we make a liar out of God, and his word is not in us.
