There Is No One Who Does Good

For the choir director. Of David.

²⁸ And just as they did not see fit ^[a]to acknowledge God, ^(A)God gave them over to an unfit mind, to do those things which are not proper, ²⁹ having been filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are ^(B)gossips, ³⁰ slanderers, ^[b](C)haters of God, violent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, ^(D)disobedient to parents, ³¹ without understanding, untrustworthy, ^(E)unloving, unmerciful; ³² and although they know the righteous requirement of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of ^(F)death, they not only do the same, but also ^(G)give hearty approval to those who practice them.
