No One Is Righteous
Destruction
and misery are
in their ways: Rom 3:16
These verses describe the vileness and wickedness of various parts of the human body, indicating figuratively that every part contributes to a person’s condemnation.
Their speech is corrupt (open graves; cf. Jas. 3:6), dishonest (deceit; cf. Psm. 36:3), damaging (poison; cf. Jas. 3:8), and blasphemous (cursing and bitterness; cf. Jas. 3:9-10). From talking of sin, they commit sin, even to the point of quickly murdering (cf. Prov. 1:11-12, 1:15-16). As a result they and others are destroyed materially and spiritually, are miserable, and know no inner peace (cf. Isa. 57:21).
Man damages and destroys everything he touches, leaving a trail of pain and suffering in his wake.
