2 | Roman 3:23 all have sinned, fallen short | Rom 3:23 | BradK | 149969 | ||
Hi PhyllisJ, If you haven't done so already, read the first 3 chapters of Romans to get the flow of thought. Specifically, vs. 23 is an additional summary of the plight of the entire human race. This statement leaves no room for exception- for "ALL" have sinned and missed the mark! Paul really recapitulates what he has said in 1:18- 3:18- that sin is the universal problem for the human race. The consequence of the fact that all men have sinned is that they (and we) "fall short of the glory of God". Fall short literally means, "to fail to attain", "to lack' and to be devoid of God's characteristics. I hope this helps, BradK |
