Absolutely not! God must be true, but everyone is a liar, as it is written: That You may be justified in Your words and triumph when You judge.

as it is written: God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that cannot see and ears that cannot hear, to this day.

For even the Messiah did not please Himself. On the contrary, as it is written, The insults of those who insult You have fallen on Me.

For whatever was written before was written for our instruction, so that through our endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we may have hope.

To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, there will be no dawn for them.

for it is written, Be holy, because I am holy.

[For the choir director. Davidic.] The fool says in his heart, "God does not exist." They are corrupt; their actions are revolting. There is no one who does good.

All have turned away; all alike have become corrupt. There is no one who does good, not even one.

[For the choir director: on Mahalath. A Davidic Maskil.] The fool says in his heart, "God does not exist." They are corrupt, and they do vile deeds. There is no one who does good.

Everyone has turned aside; they have all become corrupt. There is no one who does good, not even one.

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

Who can produce something pure from what is impure? No one!

What is man, that he should be pure, or one born of woman, that he should be righteous?

how much less one who is revolting and corrupt, who drinks injustice like water?

How can a person be justified before God? How can one born of woman be pure?

The heart is more deceitful than anything else and desperately sick-- who can understand it?

For from the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual immoralities, thefts, false testimonies, blasphemies.

For from within, out of people's hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immoralities, thefts, murders,

adulteries, greed, evil actions, deceit, lewdness, stinginess, blasphemy, pride, and foolishness.

"Why do you call Me good?" Jesus asked him. "No one is good but One-- God.

Do you not know that the unjust will not inherit God's kingdom? Do not be deceived: no sexually immoral people, idolaters, adulterers, male prostitutes, homosexuals,

thieves, greedy people, drunkards, revilers, or swindlers will inherit God's kingdom.

Now the works of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, moral impurity, promiscuity,

envy, drunkenness, carousing, and anything similar, about which I tell you in advance-- as I told you before-- that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

And you were dead in your trespasses and sins

We too all previously lived among them in our fleshly desires, carrying out the inclinations of our flesh and thoughts, and by nature we were children under wrath, as the others were also.

But sexual immorality and any impurity or greed should not even be heard of among you, as is proper for saints.

For know and recognize this: no sexually immoral or impure or greedy person, who is an idolater, has an inheritance in the kingdom of the Messiah and of God.

Therefore, put to death whatever in you is worldly: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desire, and greed, which is idolatry.

and you once walked in these things when you were living in them.

Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his practices

We know that the law is not meant for a righteous person, but for the lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinful, for the unholy and irreverent, for those who kill their fathers and mothers, for murderers,

for the sexually immoral and homosexuals, for kidnappers, liars, perjurers, and for whatever else is contrary to the sound teaching

For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,

traitors, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,

For we too were once foolish, disobedient, deceived, captives of various passions and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, detesting one another.

If we say, "We have no sin," we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

If we say, "We have not sinned," we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.

But the cowards, unbelievers, vile, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars-- their share will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death."

Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices lying.
