         Paul’s Letter To The Romans

7 - But if through my lie God's truth abounds to his glory, why am I still being reckoned as a sinner? 8 And why not do evil that good may come of it? As some people slanderously charge us with saying! Their judgment is just.

     9 What then? Are we Hebrews any better off? No, not at all. For we have already charged that all, both Jews and Greeks, are under sin [hamartia - missing the mark]. 10 as it’s written, {without God’s intervention} “none are righteous, no, not one. 11 No one understands, no one seeks for God. 12 All have turned aside, all together they have become lacking and profane. There’s no one who does good [chréstotés - kindness, goodness, gentleness, from chrēstos - useful, good] not even one. 13 Their throat is like an open grave, they use their tongues to deceive, and the venom of snakes is upon their lips. 14 Their mouth is full of curses, slander and bitterness.15 Their feet are swift to shed blood. 16 In their paths are ruin and misery, 17 and the way of peace they have not known. 18 There is no reverence of God before their eyes.” {Imperfection is an abyss of potential. We all need to be born anew, “the seed Jesus” planted in us..(Gal.3:16) and watered.. fed 📜🍞+🍷🕊️(+Logic) .. all our life.}
