Romans 3 deals with the universality of sin and justification by faith in Jesus Christ. The chapter emphasizes that all have sinned and are devoid of the glory of God, and that salvation is not achieved through the observance of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ.
Isaiah 53:6: "We all walked strayed like sheep; each one wiped himself down his way; but the Lord has dropped upon him the iniquity of us all." This verse portrays the universal condition of sin, which is mentioned in Romans 3:23.
Psalm 14:3: "They all diverted and together have been filled: there is no one to do good, there is not even one." This verse also emphasizes the universality of sin, which is emphasized in Romans 3:10-12.
Galatians 2:16: "Knowing that man is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ, we also have believed in Jesus Christ, to be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law; of the law no meat will be justified. " This verse reflects the central theme of Romans 3, which is justification by faith in Jesus Christ, and not by the works of the law.
Ephesians 2:8-9: "For by grace you are saved, through faith; and this does not come from you, it is the gift of God; not from works, so that no one can glornize." These verses also talk about justification by faith and not by works, a theme that is central in Romans 3.
Hebrews 9:22: "And almost all things, according to the law, purify themselves with blood; and without bloodshed there is no remission." This verse emphasizes the importance of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ as a form of atonement of sins, a theme that is approached in Romans 3:25-26.
